The whole reason block sizes remained smaller was to make sure people could store the block chain on their own devices and nodes could be diverse and decentralized. Sure content is irrelevant but if the blochain gets too large it can price out "mom and pop" nodes. As long as hard drive storage grows cheaper and the block chain doesn't surpass that affordability were fine.

Right. That’s my point. The block limit is set and hasn’t been increased since segwit. Inscriptions/ordinals aren’t and cant change that. They are just using the limit that the whole network of nodes advocated for with segwit.
