That's not true at all. They activate with a miner majority (e.g. 75%, 95%, etc.), not global consensus. Here global really means global, i.e. miner, economic, all clients, etc. In the case of a hardfork there is nothing stopping the miner minority from continuing the old chain. With a softfork the miner minority is forced to upgrade otherwise their blocks will be eventually orphaned.
My proposal achieves a hardfork-like blocksize limit increase but, like a softfork, also forces the miner minority to upgrade.
