what matters is who put's shit on the blockchain, and who don't, simple..
Did you consider that the state which is losing the monopoly on money might attack for the purpose of harming Bitcoin. Do you think they could do it in a way that would make the value of Bitcoin drop dramatically?

If the state says something is illegal, is it ever moral to ignore their law and do it anyhow?
Obviously. Like gun restrictions.
I think we all agree that bitcoin is a massive benefit to humanity and a key to reducing suffering in the world. So, if a government says running a bitcoin node is illegal because there is data they deem illegal stored on it, isn’t it moral for those citizens to just ignore that and to continue to run a bitcoin node? Or should we all stop running those nodes because a bad actor simply included something “illegal” and we don’t want to violate a law?
allowing data to be stored on chain is not a benefit to humanity
