Mircea Popescu, He is the original guy who started promoting the idea that it was a mistake to raise the block size unless some incentive to run a full node was added to the system. I don't think he actually supports segwit either, he thinks soft forks are crap. He is the original voice in opposition to block size increases though and many people listen to him.
A lot of people disagree with your characterization of how lightening networks will play out. Since they don't really exist in real world usage yet hard to prove one way or the other.

Many developers were opposed to reckless block size increases, I think you're giving that guy's voice too much weight. I personally never heard of him.

They sure do (early and still somewhat buggy alpha, but it does exists and does work):
