I agree that financial transaction will likely price out most of the spam in the long term, and block size are static so no storage issue, but the problem isn't there, the problem is in the UTXO set, which inscription such as ordinal creates multiple non used UTXO which nodes need to keep in RAM (so RAM cost are going significantly higher, so node cost more overtime. So I believe one of the most important things is to remove at the consensus level exploit that permit inscriptions to save UTXO set (which is what BIP-110 is mostly doing) now is BIP-110 the good approach, maybe not but at least its working in the good direction.

Oh ok I get your point now... Especially considering the price of RAM, agreed. Well, that would be an heavy hit in the nuts of ordinals for sure. Now, taproot assets creates the exact same type of UTXO fragmentation, and is it perfectly BIP110-compatible. In any case, I think the previous wave is kind or dead, and BIP110 won't clean up the existing clutter... So the question is, will there be a new wave or not? And unfortunately the tools exist that would allow for one regardless of BIP110, so maybe there is a need for a different solution that specifically addresses low-value UTXO. (there is already an anti-dust policy that could be updated to higher values for example)
