I’ve actually tried real hard to understand their perspective. But at the end of the day, I really don’t see how their approach makes any sense _unless_ you draw some kind of moral distinction between content in OP_RETURNs versus Inscriptions/fake pubkeys/etc.

But you discount "the movement" as being all stupid followers of its leader. We very recently observed the shift to this "sanctioned data" stance and you had commented on a stream where Mechanic learned about that but I think it's not mere semantics. A legal attack on Bitcoin could argue on this distinction when determining if a benign protocol is being abused or complicit in the spread of "illegal data". In a world where judges cared only about what is right, we wouldn't have to worry but Bitcoin is under attack in 200 jurisdictions and if this provides half an argument for some of those to put users closer to jail, it would be bad or at least way worse for bitcoin than having to keep maintaining 20 lines of code and a 160B default datacarriersize.
