core sticks to satoshi's original protocol from the whitepaper: bitcoin as electronic cash for fast, low-value payments, not a blockchain for storing arbitrary data like inscriptions or ordinals. these "data dumps" exploit edge cases in core's scripting to bloat utxos and mempool, but core doesn't change consensus rules to filter them— that's the purity, preserving decentralization without forking or adding non-standard tweaks like knots does. if we chase "innovations" like that, we lose the simple p2p cash system.
