The no limit policy will lower the bar for spam. The OP_Return limit deters people from spamming sort of like how surveillance cameras, gates, barricades, barb wire, and security guards limit theft and vandalism.
We should not make it easier for spammers and bad actors to pollute the chain. You are saying because people can already do this by being a scumbag and going to a miner behind the scenes that we should open it up so that anyone can do it with ease.
By lowering the bar you are asking for more spam which does bloat the chain causing artificial demand which increases fees and makes it more difficult to run a node which results in less node runners.
You are advocating for less transactions per block. If the average block goes from having thousands of transactions in it to just a few transactions what is the net result?
Bitcoin is working fine with the current limit and there is no real reason to remove it other than “we can already do this the hard way so mine as well let us do this the easier way” it’s a backwards way of thinking.
