Pay to script hash is basically like this -- The last instruction is pay to any. If they can steal from segwit txos, why can't they steal from p2sh txos?

A crypto-currency needs secure wallets. Bitcoin has had good and secure bitcoin wallets. It seems that it might be easier to adapt all of these wallets that exist to use bitcoin cash than to adapt them to use segwit. It depends on good open source developers having enough time to support a given crypto-currency.

I wish I had more time on my hands to do more for this. We are seeing bitcoin split into several alt-coins.

We will see :)
