Censorship resistant transactions in the hardest money ever invented will be in high demand, and will out-price other forms of data storage.
If that assumption is wrong, Bitcoin’s design is fundamentally flawed, and those of us who do want electronic cash should go back to the drawing board.
(I don’t believe the assumption is wrong.)
It will out-price eventually, but why burden node runners with 100 kb op_return data in the meantime?

Because if people want to put arbitrary data on the chain in the meantime there is no good way to stop that-- but at least OP_RETURN is the least harmful way.
And thanks to the block size limit it's a fairly minor nuicence anyways.
