An argument against OCEAN filtering out inscriptions that I have been hearing is, "If they pay the fee and don't violate the consensus rules, they shouldn't be censored."

Setting aside the fact that one mining pool with a pittance of hashrate can't censor anything if they tried, doesn't this argument cut the other way, too? So far as I know, the consensus rules entirely permit a mining pool to include or exclude whatever transactions they like from a block, so long as they succeed in finding a valid hash. There is NO consensus rule that requires miners to maximize their short term profits by using sats/vbyte as the sole determining factor for what transactions they include.
