I don't really see a problem if someone doesn't want to receive likes. You can disable the notifications, I can also assume an option on your side not to show it at all.
But, done this way, you can force the whole protocol and all other apps to remove it, I don't like that.
I don't like forcing, it's like when you mute someone is perfect. I think the current system is more convenient, you just don't hear them but you don't restrict their freedom to continue trolling ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Currently, the reaction feature is mostly used for likes, but it's not limited to that. Here are the top 30 reactions my node has seen in the last couple of days (with counts):

Which client is giving users the hamburger reaction as an option? I need it. ๐
nostrgram.co/?nows=1 or snort.social / semisol.snort.dev

Looking at the data in my node, here's the list of "client" values seen in all reactions (kind=7 notes) my node has seen:
astral
BIJA
coracle
gossip
nostr_console
Since well-known client implementations like Damus aren't listed, I take this to mean that it's uncommon for client applications to tag their reactions.
To make a long story short, I can't tell from the data alone where the hamburgers are coming from.
