I appreciate your position and the respectful discussion. The main thing I am critical of is the idea that you think you can stop the jepgs or 'non monetary data' on Bitcoin. Even the softfork plan would not accomplish much.
Harm minimization is an overall good, here. The miners are mining them. Your node is getting filled up more with the filters, long term, as the transactions are confirmed and the dApps use alternatives that cause UTXO set bloat.
