My mempool has different rules than your mempool and THAT'S A GOOD THING.
Node Policy != Consensus Rules

True, but miner’s policy always wins no matter what you do
"Wins" is still suggesting a misunderstanding of the difference between mempool policy and consensus rules. Of course my mempool policy does not determine what can be mined into a block by other miners. That is not the goal or intent of mempool policy.
„Wins“ indicates that your mempool rules are irrelevant. When someone sends a valid transaction directly to a miner your mempool policy doesn’t interest anyone.
But yeah, maybe „wins“ is the wrong word.
My mempool policy is relevant to what is included in my mempool. That's why it's called mempool policy...
So the uproar is about a miner setting mempool policy on their node that you disagree with? Then don't use their node? They all set mempool policies!
Screaming "censorship!" is nuts...
