Right away, this is just untrue:
"However, as developers and community of node runners, we also do not really get to decide what people use the chain for"
We do not have to relay & facilitate transactions that we oppose.
The fact that some spam gets through my email filters is not a reason to remove all filters.
There is no point in arguing with them.
These are people are hypocrites. Removing OP_return limit will not stop slipstream.
People can and will still go directly to miners to put whatever they want in their blocks.
It will just allow Tom, Dick and Harry to spam more, especially now they want to reduce the min limit to 0.1 sat/vB.
