I don’t see relay policy as effective given new relay networks that will inevitably spring up to get around censorship of economically motivated transactions. Not even talking about core. Core just aligns with this reality.

It’s really on the miners to stop hurting the network by accepting this type of data.
You’re right that there is technically no stopping it with relay policy, but relay policy did reduce it and set a standard for transactions over the history of Bitcoin.
I could easily see someone fork off by changing Bitcoin so that blocks with OP Return data over 80 bytes are invalid. I think that attempt will fail, even though I wish it would succeed.
I may be a rare bitcoin user/dev but i have always been very anti filters since the very beginning , so i may have a different perspective than most core devs who are pro filters (standardness), let alone knots people who are even more pro filters (standardness+++)
Do you think that using Bitcoin for non-monetary data storage hurts the monetary network?
I think its a good way for idiot to burn and donate their bitcoin to miners
I would agree with this except that there is data which is considered illegal in most countries with can pollute the chain. What harm would be done by having a hardcoded limit on OP Return?

I think it temporarily makes onchain txs harder, but that is why we need more people using lightning channels because in a healthy fee market this is inevitable anyways
