Similar to other mining pools having the freedom to include spam in the blockchain, ocean has the freedom to exclude it.
Freedom of choice is consistent with the ethos of Bitcoin.
What am I missing?
nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze is censoring transactions, although I have my opinion about certain transactions too #bitcoin still remains for everyone and it’s not for others to decide which transaction should be processed or not.

You’re missing your bias.
I have already made it clear that I made an investment with Ocean. I’m not going to include it on every note.
I made the investment because I care deeply about bitcoin, and among other reasons, having four pools/nodes/entities/businesses dictating which transactions are added to the chain is a problem.
You know of my bias because, unlike many others, many of whom are attacking ocean, do not disclose.
Ocean is an honest attempt to solve a clear and present problem facing bitcoin.
My bias is bitcoin.
