Not that big of a deal as you are framing it to be. Difficulty adjustment will be arriving soon as expected. Also these parameters are codefied anyway and they are by design. Not arguing it is good design or design that shouldn't be amended over time with hard forks but saying this is an issue with "cryptocurrencies" is insincere.
It is that BTC has been subverted by BlockStream and has become an embarrassment. In a fair world, BCH would have the BTC ticker.
