This shit really has nothing to do with statism. It's about whether you get to set the rules on your own node or not.

I think people who want to make it easier & more welcoming for others to store arbitrary data on all nodes (whether the node runner wants to relay & facilitate that crap getting into the chain or not) are either making a serious mistake or are malicious actors.

If nodes can not set their own rules then bitcoin becomes less decentralized.

You can currently accept & relay whatever garbage you want. I can currently refuse to relay things. Core wants to remove one of these options in a top down fashion.
