This this way, for public record you have to write down everything that is said. (In an English-speaking place)
Everyone can say anything they want. But if a large section of people say things in chinese now the recorders are writing paragraphs of phonetic translations with english characters.
This creates a strain on everyone trying to read the record and creates an attack vector where people embed very offensive things in chinese phonetics that when said in english most people wouldn't like to say or read.
Narrowing the rules of "You can only speak english but say ANYTHING you want" is not a censorship of idea conveyance (the point of language).
The point of a protocol is its purpose. The purpose of bitcoin is to transfer units from one set of addresses to another. Creating outputs that go nowhere, creating unspendable outputs, embedding superfluous data in an input, and creating anchorpoints on outputs that hold massive data stores are all outside this purpose.
Saying no one can define spam or it's a meaningless distinction are using somekind of post-modernist "nothing means anything" anti-logic.

By reading the responses in this thread, there's a lot of people who don't know what's happening. There's a lot of people who think they know what's happening. And then there's very few people who know what's actually happening in a payjoin.
Adoption is a lot tougher when a plurality of the users don't understand what's happening.

Directional ideas are not true in every inatance. bad products can make a lot of money yet, you wouldn't say "create a bad product to make a lot of money." On the average, bad products lose money.
On a long time scale, Bitcoin defunds the government. incremental adoption only increases that eventuality but is not a true/false switch: I use Bitcoin therefore government goes bankrupt.
The same is true about confiscation. Every "confiscated" coin was given under duress or willfully given. No one can intentionally steal YOUR coins if you do not allow it. Most criminals under duress allow the seizure.
It is not utopian to be directionally correct. it is Utopian to believe monumental change happens over night.

It is not at all self-evident that excluding larger data blobs from a scarce data space is not more lucrative. Strictly because of the variable phi input, you can't just draw the conclusion that more equals more. I literally gave you an example of a miner making more money by excluding inscriptions and large data pushes.
Private in this context means hidden from public mempool gossip, not your definition of private property or whatever.
And my burger analogy, although a little cumbersome for the application, is still apt. Because no matter what someone has paid previously or will pay in the future, what I determine to be the fee can't be estimated. Example: if the previous block everyone paid a thousand sats per v-byte, that doesn't mean anything compared to what I'm willing to pay for my next transaction. Fee estimation is Keynesian psuedoscience.

Fungibility- is the property of something whose individual units are considered fundamentally interchangeable with each other.

Yes.
The arbitrary data is not part of the transaction. The fact that the recipient can unlock the address means they are the owner not some arbitrary statement to be interpreted later.
The transaction can be made without the data so why include it? The private key + spending condition is the only thing that matters.

I care not for the futility or ends because the means and ends are my own.

It's not ignorable after a debt spiral. The building of the Dollar is condemned and falling apart. If people care about remaining alive they have to migrate out of there. You can't actually continue to use broken money past a certain point.
Using gold or bitcoin won't be a choice they make. They can starve or use money.

No, they are not. You are referring to Aztecs, they were annihilated by the spanish. But please tell me more about these ancient "Mexicans"

The point of a node (and the software it runs) it to tell others on the network what transactions you believe are valid. If that opinion is dictated to you (by removing configuration options) it is no longer permissionless for those who cannot write their own code.
By definition your node's mempool is censorious of invalid Bitcoin broadcasts. That is why you cannot send ETH on the BTC network. Through your node's code configuration YOU decide what is and is not okay for YOUR node. The fact that you don't rebroadcast invalid (in your opinion) transactions is your right, to do with your computer.
