What changes to bitcoin have these people made? I don't see any honestly. It's in people's heads. I mean that is important but isn't really something code can influence.
I agree with you one the delusion of the term bitcoiner. But when you think it through no one was a gold bug when it was dominant. As bitcoin grows in use it will be used by people that have no interest in other than utility. As I see it that is the only way it beats fiat. On utility.
I don't think it's about the code, it's about the regulation and the ramps, which the bag pumpers have done a great job of handing over eagerly to corporations and states in the interest of quick gains. Meanwhile VC's have steadily convinced us that custodial Lightning is the best way to get people to use bitcoin as cash, when at best that arrangement is no better than using dollars. This current pattern of adoption doesn't necessarily lead to widespread adoption among a billion people. In fact, I think you could make the case this path leads to even darker places than fiat.
