Nothing will change in my opinion. The SSPX has continued to have large growth even after the February announcement of the consecration of new bishops. Catholics have reached their tipping point with the NO mass, gαys and ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs being married and blessed in the church, woman bishops invited to meet the Pope, clown masses, drag queen masses, and the list goes on and on. The SSPX chapels will be busting at the seams even more now.
False on several counts. No, SSPX have not continued to "have large growth" since the February announcement. Even had these events NOT transpired, there would have been very miniscule and modest growth over that short a time period anyway. In a GOOD year, they don't grow dramatically in a four month period outside of some unexpected development (e.g. COVID and Novus Ordo church closed, or something like that). So ... you make that up and pull it from your posterior in your wishful thinking.
They had managed to retain the status quo, since, obviously you don't leave simply on account of something that might happen in the future. Even the most timid were just holding on, hedging their bets, hoping for a last minute deal ... since even they're not stupid enough to believe that you incur excommunication for announcing your intention to consecrate in the future.
In addition, very few expected that the laity would be excommunicated, but thought it would be the bishops only, like last time, and not even the priests. So, the only time they directly would be impacted would be if a priests who had been ordained by one of the new bishops happened to show up at their particular chapel, and since ordinations had just taken place, that eventuality would be at least a year off, and ... who knows? ... a lot could happen in a year and SSPX reconciled once again with Rome.
Significant percentages of the current swell of laity has been the direct result of having been appeased and lured in by the SSPX saying, "ah, look, we have jurisdiction". I have been talking to them, and they were in fact scared excrement-less by the prospect of even just the bishops being exommunicated, and I can assure you those people are having cold seats even as we speak.
And your litany of complaints is utterly idiotic. They can flee those by going to an Eastern Rite church, as many have already done, or find a more conservative priest somewhere, etc.
SSPX have been preaching for a decade now the extreme urgency of maintaining good relations with Rome, in condemning the Resistance types.
Not sure what weed you're smoking, but you're going to be in for a rude awakening.
