Antonopoulos is just right here and nothing has changed unless you prove otherwise. Whoever overbids others in a block, gets into the block. Everyone pays by the same rules, the discount is on signature part in case of using segwit, not on output part. Additionally, op_returns are not stored in utxo set, so they actually don't inflate anything, just spend space in blocks, which is fine if they pay enough. And they do pay a lot!

Can you provide an example of a transaction where ordinals unfairly gained an advantage in inflating the UTXO set by inserting a script into OP_RETURN, please? This seems nonsensical to me.

I'll set aside your judgment on my education for the moment. If you aim for your messages to carry influence, consider working on cultivating a more polite tone first.

Literally EVERY SINGLE INSCRIPTION NOT JUST ORDINALS is a first class citizen compared to your normal Bitcoin transaction, this is publicly visible data. You only need to know how the OP_RETURN discount in segwit works with datacarriersize. If you do not understand that I cannot help you.

datacarriersize affects standardness, not consensus rules, so if there is any unfair advantage related to this parameter, it is on relay step. If you consider this unfair, all you can do is changing the parameter locally, so your node doesn't relay or broadcast such txs, but other miners can still mine such transactions and you have to accept them, otherwise it is a fork. Anyway, my transactions pass and mine, so I don't care if their transactions mine as well, if they satisfy the consensus rules. You think their transactions should not be mined? Justify this, otherwise it is just an arbitrary censorship. Preventing them from relaying seems useless, since they already cooperate with miners.
