Today, the large majority of the bitcoin user base supports the core roadmap. The negligible transaction volume on the chain of BC.a.s.h, which is less than 2% of the volume on bitcoin's chain, shows this quite explicitly. (Of course, so does the number of nodes running bitcoin core and so does the value of BTC).
Miners don't follow agreements they signed, and especially, they don't follow the NYA Segwit2X agreement. Despite signing that agreement to Hard Fork bitcoin only after the activation of SegWit and to support the chain that agreement creates, the same miners who signed it then hard forked separately and have dedicated their hashing power to that fork when it was more profitable to do so. Miners follow profit. Period. And frankly, there's nothing at all wrong with that. That means they mine where block reward per PetaHash is highest.
When (or rather if) there is a fork, the difficulty on both chains will be the same. Miners will follow the one with the highest value or risk losing money.
Which do you think will have the higher value? The one with all the core developers and all the principled users, which is most of them; or the one with one developer, a bunch of companies and mostly trolls who have already divested their BTC for an alternative?
Within a short time post-split MINERS WILL MINE GOOD OLD FASHIONED, BTC. Any amount of money spent on artificially keeping the price of the forked coin high will get spent quickly and the bubble on it will burst. And then it will be clear to 100% of people that BTC is bitcoin and that corporations and miners and backroom deals have no power here. And then the value of bitcoin will actually skyrocket as it demonstrates that it fended off the most powerful attack yet against it simply by staying itself.
