it is still a matter of debate if full segwit blocks will suffice to cover the security budget in the near future. fees are the bottom line. nobody is going to make the whole world stop for you because you won't upgrade your crappy computer or your crappy internet. you're not special.

Fees+subsidy are the bottom line, not just fees.

And what do you do when your neighbors throw trash in your yard? Do something to discourage them or upgrade to a fancier house?

pays fee = not trash

if you don't think that the blocksize limit and fee market are good enough to deter abuse, maybe you can switch to XRP

if you aren't prepared for perpetually full segwit blocks, find another hobby

Looks like you have a fundamental misunderstanding. There are many kinds of consensus valid transactions (which fees are attached to) that Bitcoin Core configurations have always filtered. See https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/96970/what-valid-transactions-are-not-broadcastable

Spammers pay fees for their internet too. So why not disable all your email spam filters and let all that trash in?

if there's at least one miner who doesn't have autism, you'll store the valid transactions that you don't like regardless, and meanwhile your fee estimation will be wrong. you have a terminal case of having your cake and eating it too. go and fork off and create your own network where transactions you don't agree with are invalid.

That's false. Go study.
