Being able to put jpegs on the blockchain is a vulnerability. An adversary posting child porn to the blockchain, and then prosecuting node owners for hosting that data, is an attack vector that we haven't figured out how to deal with yet.

Being censorship resistant is a vulnerability of blockchain?

I just explained how it could be. Read it again.

The problem lies with living in a jurisdiction that will prosecute you for running a blockchain node, not with blockchain fundamentally valuing not having a centralized authority to determine what is allowed and not.

Bitcoin doesn't exist in a bubble. It exists in a real, adversarial world.

Sure, I'd agree with you that it's a vulnerability for most node operators that don't want to be prosecuted. However, I would not go as far to say that it's a vulnerability with the design.
