No. I think all vulnerabilities should be fixed. If a method was discovered to save on 3/4 of the fees needed for a user's transaction, wouldn't you want that fixed? Those people would be essentially stealing from miner's economic incentives right now. Pretend this has nothing to do with Inscriptions. I'd want this fixed ASAP so that a small group of people weren't able to cheat the system. I thought Bitcoin was supposed to level the playing field? If Inscriptiona paid the same fees as financial transactions for the block space that they're using then I'd have zero issues.

This seems like the most logical response. When exploits are discovered, they get corrected. It doesn't mean the entire system is fundamentally broken. Exploits have been discovered and corrected in the protocol many times over the years. Why is this one so different?

Who defines this an exploit?

I have been pretty agnostic to ordinals. But if they are in fact paying 1/4 of the price for the block space they take compared to other transactions, it seems like an issue.

So they got that because of segwit. Was segwit worth it? It also gave us lightning among other improvements? How do you feel about future softforks?
