Well if consuming utxos is spending Bitcoin what is creating utxos? and how does segwit discount curb utxo set growth? and why is that a bad thing?
I always thought segwit was a compromise intended to help scale Bitcoin which would grow the utxo set.

UTXO creation occurs when you deposit bitcoin in an address.
Segwit does many things, the increased block weight limit does allow for more throughput. The discount is complicated and a rough estimation rather than precisely tuned for every script type.
