Censorship is inherent to every node. If not explicit, the hardware limitation itself censors transactions.
It feels like the conflation of censorship resistance and personal sovereignty is being done in bad faith.
Rational people understand that you don't have to accept someone insulting you in your home because that space is yours to do with as you wish. That limitation IS censorship.
It is not the same as censorship as way of permission. The network is resistant to centralization of permission, not that permission doesn't exist on an individual's node.
