Yes, only up to about 157 bytes (up from the current 80 bytes standard) will OP_RETURN be cheaper than using witness data to store data. And with OP_RETURN you can only make 1mb blocks. With inscriptions you can make 4mb. So if data enjoyers want to use OP_RETURN instead of inscriptions it will be less storage and bandwidth for nodes.
