> The 2016 block adjustment period kills the minority chains, that is one
of its goals. Changing that will have huge economical implications in
the long run.

I'm not sure this was a goal and if then it does not protect from hard forks.

If a minority hard fork wants to survive it will change the difficulty
algorithm to something different like Bitcoin Cash did with the EDA.

A quote from Jurassic Park comes to mind: "Life finds a way"
