Instead of asking why are there inscriptions, we should be asking why is this an issue for the network?

We'd have similar congestion with a billion new users.

Perhaps the angst right now in the community is more a function of Bitcoin's current limitations in terms of scalability.

Bitcoin isn't inevitable. It still requires a lot of hard work if it is going to scale for all of humanity, especially in a self sovereign way.

Instead of considering censorship we should be talking about improving scalability.

Lower your time preference and see the forest through the trees.
