One does not need cope if one does not perceive a problem. I'm bullish on bitcoin as it is.
I think it's as valuable as we thought. However, when I see arguments that JPEGs are a problem, I can only assume they fear it's not as valuable as they thought. Otherwise I don't think they'd view it as a problem.
I would oppose consensus changes to make it easier to put more non-monetary stuff into the timechain. But that's not what Core has proposed; they just don't see a purpose to make relaying more restrictive than what can be mined.
Attempting to filter what people are willing to pay for and what fits within current consensus, is a pretty Sisyphean activity in my view.
