What *doesn’t* it enable? The scope of OP_CAT and what it can do seems so arbitrarily large as to make discussion of it difficult. Not to mention developing with it is unintuitive and creates very complex scripts for very simple functions.
Everything I’ve seen suggests it is a recipe for messy development, technical debt, long term bugs/faults that aren’t obvious at the outset, and an avalanche of scams that aren’t secure, decentralized, or anything else we care about but that bring the “crypto” world flooding into Bitcoin selling the same garbage with a fresh coat of paint.
If you have a different perspective and can argue it, be my guest, I’m happy to learn something.
