I'm very dubious of turning on arbitrary OP_CODES. And they've been pitched poorly, together with heavy-handed social attacks. So much can be done at the L2 contracting layer that does not fork or impact the base layer, just creates more value. The security guarnatees are not the same as main chain, but no L2 is. But they are better than tether, which should be good enough for most people.
This is a good place to start on the concepts. The idea that we should just arbitrarily turn on a ton of functions without any concrete ideas on the risks involved in doing so, especially when activating each one creates an exponentially greater combination for each additional op_code, is just incredibly dangerous.
I think this is exactly why Satoshi disabled them. Recognizing that there was no clear limitation for what can be executed with them. If you can do generic math, then it’s possible to can create functions that produce infinite outputs.
