Let’s do a quick thought experiment. Imagine a government becomes opposed to how certain people are using Bitcoin. In response, it establishes its own Bitcoin node software, launches a mining pool, and introduces a soft fork—claiming that anyone who resists this fork is supporting illegal activity. Would you support this soft fork?

Those assertions made by a government alone would make me oppose said fork. Everything can be illegal if the right people so desire. Fiat cash is the #1 medium of exchange in classical illegal activity, i.e. the sale of prohibited (both moral and immoral) goods and services.
