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?

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.
