Also this was said by Hunter Beast who now supports BIP 110 too:
"I'm generally supportive of the changes in this BIP. Aside from minor nitpicks in language, the 34 byte scriptPubKey restriction I think will prove to be quite valuable in addressing the larger concern of DoS blocks / poison blocks that impose such high computational costs on nodes that a single block would take 30 minutes to verify on decent hardware instead of taking about a second. This is an even larger threat to Bitcoin than either CSAM or quantum, because I've read that CSAM has already been present on Bitcoin for a very long time, and quantum computers aren't anywhere near good enough to be a threat, and may never be, whereas DoS blocks could be introduced by miners who take direct submissions without sufficient checks at any time."

Segwit gives bad actors 3 additional MB per block to append poison to the chain and give them a discount in sats to add said poison vs an hosted transacter.
Do we have 1MB blocks or not? Why did we change the blocksize implicitly?
