because uncapped op_return is the actual rules of the network. capped op_return is an unenforceable policy that is easy to route around.

now if we think this is bad, we should softfork an actual limit so its impossible to get around.

When you mean easy? How easy, easy for very technical people, or like direct submission to miners? Because if its not feasible to reliably route around the op_return limit I don't see why you should be basically removing it

easy as in you can go to https://opreturnbot.com/ and put in whatever you want. this uses libre relay as their backend.

if you want something custom you can just download librerelay and send it that way.

people creating large op_returns with image data need to be somewhat technical anyways. if they can do that then they can download librerelay and broadcast it to a miner

there is no "upload jpg" on the bitcoin client, you will be using custom software regardless. and it can be as easy as a website. knots doesn't do shit all to stop it.
