For purely selfish reasons, 1MB of jpegs in op_returns are worse than 1MB of jpegs in inscriptions, because op_returns take up more base space, which is the more expensive part of blockspace. My transactions must use some base space, as a transaction that *only* uses the less-expensive witness space would be invalid. As a result, I prefer *less* of that base space to be consumed by jpegs, so that I can use that space; and therefore, even if I had purely selfish motives, I would consider it worse for 1MB of jpegs to be embedded in op_returns instead of inscriptions.

That said, my motivations include both self-interest and interest in others. If you want to see what outcome would ensue if I changed my motivations (e.g. "what if you were only interested in yourself") you could prompt the pro-spam position much more efficiently by asking about more directly pro-spam motivations -- e.g. "what if you were interested in seeing more spam on the network." If you tune the motivations properly, you can get any response you like.
