Or Knots is about centralizing mining because it incentivises OOB transaction markets.

Is that why they are proposing a consensus change to limit op_return?
Not sure about Luke's motivations, but the reason core changed mempool defaults is to even the playing field for miners.
This is complete bullshit and I don't care about miners. Blowing out OP_Return is introducing spam to the blockchain .. same as BSV did and they're all loaded with CSAM. The maggots at Core are all getting paid by Citrea, they're shit-coiners who probably don't own Bitcoin.
Citrea doesn't depend on Op_return, they can use use unspendable taproot outputs instead and bloat the UTXO set, I think that's actually how it's currently implemented but haven't checked.
You'll care about miners if there's only one or two big ones that no one can compete with and the State can just hijack to mine empty blocks.
Bring able to estimate fees correctly is also pretty important.
And aside from all this, if people actually wanted a viable alternative to Core and weren't just mindlessly following a renegade cult because it makes them feel good then they'd use libbitcoin not knots.
Let's fire Core. Run the Drivechain activation client.
