I feel like "passive users" would agree with the status quo? They don't care enough to vote for the fork, so they should have counted as voting against the forks.
Furthermore, it's been well known for the past 2 weeks that the fork was likely to happen. That means the fork was the status quo. It's what was going to happen assuming nothing derailed it.
I'm an ETH holder and I didn't vote. I was undecided and was happy enough with the decision to fork.
