I'm talking about the intended purpose of OP_RETURN which is return zero when added to the stack, which in layman's terms means do not relay to the network.

Bitcoin script is not relay policy. It's consensus. Op return means stop evaluating the Script in the script interpreter.
My first note got eaten by relay. But That's why I said "in laymen's terms" a script interpreter telling the node a transaction is invalid while part of consensus ALSO falls within relay policy. Same as nodes not relaying say, duplicate transactions, for example.
