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.

I think your first answer is kind of changing the topic, since we were discussing node centralization.
Is your concern node centralization, or is it fee pressure, or both?
Sorry for not replying sooner
I think there are at least two downsides of op_returns: (1) their purpose is to store arbitrary data, which discourages node running the more it is used, and thus increases node centralization; (2) they store that arbitrary data in a relatively precious location -- base space -- which drives up fees more than alternatives like inscription envelopes.
