Nobody is actually against Bitcoin having spam filters. Fees are just another filter, not fundamentally any different from any other filter. Even Core is adding _new_ filters: TRUC and ephemeral dust are two recent examples (mandatory in Core, and optional in Knots).

They're just against _you_ having a say in what filters you get to use. They want to dictate that you use the filters _they_ choose.

Instead of decentralized policy, they want a centralized policy.

(And they're not even choosing sane ones! Who in their right mind wants to relay CSAM???)
