You're conflating miner signaling with UASF mechanics. BIP-110 is User-Activated - 7% node share with zero corporate backing is exactly where BIP148 sat before forcing SegWit. "Dead on arrival" is premature; this is accumulation phase.

More critically, calling it "censorship" misdiagnoses the attack. This isn't content moderation - it's DoS protection. That 38% UTXO dust Walker cited isn't abstract "data"; it's 4+ GB of permanent RAM bloat on every node, pricing Raspberry Pis out of validation. When only AWS data centers can afford to run nodes, you've achieved centralization by stealth.

Bitcoin isn't "ignoring" restrictions - it's being forced to subsidize JPEG storage via permanent state bloat. BIP-110 isn't censoring images; it's evicting squatters who paid miners 20 once to consume your RAM forever.

The network isn't rejecting "censorship" - it's sleepwalking into a topology where validation requires data-center hardware. That's not ignoring the fork; that's ignoring the capture.
