Because Bitcoin is not a distributed data storage service. It is a monetary network for monetary transactions. Paying a fake key IS a financial transaction at the end of the day. If I pay a shell company for items that I never receive I still paid it.
Preventing spam is not the point anyway, it is this strange reframing of "We are taking away a config option which gives you more freedom"
This is blatantly false and could only serve to make spam easier to do. That is the contention, nothing else.
I don't care if spam actually increases or decreases. I want people to FREELY choose to enable spam or disable it. Everything else is sophistry.
