Growth in OP_RETURN usage doesn’t prove your point at all, Jimmy.
You should want more usage of OP_RETURN instead of the witness data or bare multisig outputs. It’s simply less harmful.

Binary logic. If there is a problem, it will be in the nuance.
What I explained WAS nuanced.
You can’t stop “spam” (if you can even define such a thing) or the inclusion of arbitrary data into the blockchain. There’s literally an infinite number of ways to do it.
So the best option we have is to make the least harmful methods (aka OP_RETURN) the most accessible.
Stop trying to write code in terms of bitcoin maxi morality.
Why would you use op_return if you're already using discounted witness data, this would be new uses *in addition* to that
