While true, irrelevant. The risk of a chain split is not zero. The risk of csam on the chain is also not zero. The question is which is the bigger risk. I can see arguments for both.

Let's start with the use case (agile programming) As a monetary maximalist, I want to chain split transactions, ehem, entire blocks and any transactions downstream of those blocks, that don't agree with my sexual preferences. I don't care about the collateral damage of others who just want to use bitcoin as pure money. They should know better. Did I get that right @Luke Dashjr?
It is relevant. Core created this problem. If they reverse their OP_RETURN policy, things will cool down. It's up to them.
