Some people have said to me… “They” will never let Bitcoin win…
But will it? Who is “they”?

Compromised Core devs are some of "them". This is how they did not fix inscriptions spam. And now they use the incriptions spam as an Excuse to blow up OP_RETURN.
Did you know they censored Bitcoin contirubuters on the Github discussion, they attack Bitcoin Knots runners exhausting their Internet limits, they attacked Bitcoin Culture and Bitcoin Values? You have talked to some of them too, Gloria for example.
How about what Citrea is doing? Trying to turn Bitcoin into an Ethereum like shitcoin?
It's really simple. Core becomes less "core" and eventually not-Core. They took a whack at their own status. The only question is whether they will retain enough credibility for when they really try to sell out for a big prize. Let them spend down cred on this while the ecosystem adjusts to boost viable alternatives and everyone wargames how we would handle an even more contentious and dangerous change. Once they have tasted power, they will want more. Bitcoin is not centralized so there is no one to "fire" them. You just have to run different software and stop paying attention. If someone will release a v30 with the OP_RETURN configuration limits in place, it would be very popular right now.
True. Though when people make them irrelevant by not running their malicious version that is essentially "firing" them.
Its interesting too the organisations that are sponsoring them, how they are going to react - whether they support spam or not ....
