It's an example of ext2 being bandaided to do something it was never
originally designed to do. If online resizing had been planned from the
start, allocating new inode tables on the fly would be trivial, as it is
in JFS/NTFS/...

Blatant and silly exaggeration. Re-read the thread, and note how many
times "cp -a ext3 ext4" was written.
