That's not true, whirlpool was transacting bitcoin exceeding the standard 42 byte datacarrier size limit. Samourai didn't understand their transactions weren't being censored and that the datacarrier size limit is now being enforced.

PS: I hate ordinals and inscription but in the end... let the free market decide how the block space is used as long as the users pay for it.

👍 So it was about datacarrier size and not about whirlpool.
