At the core of the why *filters work* is that the COST (time/money) is the ultimate filter. "how are u going to find the miner for your non-standard transaction" + "oh its $80, no thanks".
Exactly.
This is why the fee market competion for transaction finality will be the best, most neutral, longterm uncorruptible filter.
Standardness filters set by a group or groups (even honest, well meaning humans) can be influenced/corrupted.

Where is the line? Who decides on the parameters of the filters? Protecting bitcoin by being really really smart about filters is not a neutral sustainable approach.
Non financial uses will be priced out or they will compete - long term - and be able to afford the fees because they provide real sustainable value
The Monkey JPEGers and most (all?) non-money data storage bros will run out of cash. I will out work them and will out bid them in the fee market.
