I can't really speak for everyone in a community, but running BIP110 is the only (current) option for anyone who disagrees with what Core did.

I really don't want my node to be file storage for people who aren't using Bitcoin as money.

I'm happy storing any any all monetary transactions, but arbitrary files that are unrelated to monetary transfer? Absolutely not

We used to be able to manage this through policy, but Core removed that, so consensus is our only practical option at the moment
