I posted this as a poll on Twitter:

Is being neutral about OP_RETURN a vote for Bitcoin Core?

(since doing nothing = the default implementation wins)

so the problem is OP_RETURN is one of the issues. core of the issue was 3 years ago, Core didn't patch their implementation against exploits appeared after taproot fork.

so if you are running Core and not updating, you are still running a node that doesn't have patches against taproot exploits. and down the road because of the issues this exploit caused, Core wanted remove OP_RETURN limit.

so you can say they caused the problem to create the "solution".

Yeah, I’m not educated enough on this, just getting the sense that many would rather sweep it under the rug (which is not good if it’s bad and not understood properly, and the default )
