The invention of the Bitcoin protocol is not the invention of digital money. It is the invention of digital laws of physics.
The protocol's significance is not that it specifically created a cryptocurrency. It is that, for the first time, it imposed physics-like constraints (scarcity, irreversibility, thermodynamic cost) onto a domain that previously had none. Digital space, prior to Bitcoin, was a realm of infinite and costless replication. Bitcoin changed the rules of that space for itself.
It is only within a digitally constrained environment, one governed by its own *immutable* laws, that a truly digital commodity can emerge. And it is only from a genuine digital commodity that sound digital money can arise.
You cannot have digital money without first having digital physics.

Definitely does legally. Believe me I totally understand the disgust at potentially having to store something you don not want if you run a full archiving node. There are options though, like a prunable full node if you only care about the UTXO set (financial transactions). I just have a hard time finding an edge to that argument. Like what if someone pays for a nuke and kills millions of innocent people with it. May seem like a crazy scenario but if Bitcoin becomes the world's money, it's a non zero chance. Do you want to be part of that purely financial data propagation?

The crucial distinction is the type of technical cost imposed on nodes, not the philosophical definition of "spam" or "bloat"
* OP_RETURN / Witness Data: This is a temporary tax on cheap resources. It consumes bandwidth and CPU for validation. A pruned node then discards the data. The cost is paid once, and it's over.
* Fake P2PKH Addresses: This is a permanent tax on expensive resources. It consumes the same temporary bandwidth and CPU, but also adds a permanent entry to the UTXO set. This consumes RAM on every full node, forever.
The fact that each P2PKH entry is only 20 bytes is irrelevant. A permanent, compounding tax on RAM is fundamentally more harmful to the network than a one-time tax on bandwidth.

I think the vast majority of folks agree with that. Spam not existing would be *great*. But, since spammers do exist, I think most people are genuinely interested in finding the best way to reduce the harm the cause.
When comparing P2FKH spam and OP_RETURN spam, I'm not sure I understand how P2FKH is less harmful. Both spams cost the spammer sats. They are both paying for their transaction weight. The obvious upside to everyone else if the spam is within OP_RETURN is that we don't have to store it. P2FKH spam my node has to keep forever.
What is the perceived positive tradeoff in your mind?
