I really am not, in fact I welcome developments such as Citrea and Strata by Alpen Labs. I mentioned Citrea in relation to my other point, which is that I don't understand the timing of this relaxation in relay policy.
Given that preventing the UTXO set from increasing is one of the goals, I am trying to understand how come OP_RETURN limits were not dropped in 2023 when inscriptions were rapidly increasing the UXTO set. Things are complex and I understand that there is not necessarily an answer here, but I am far from suggesting that something shady is going on behind the scenes as an attempt to overthrow Bitcoin or other such things
