GrassFedBitcoin on Nostr: op return is "the least harmful" way to store this stuff for the reasons you cite, ...
op return is "the least harmful" way to store this stuff for the reasons you cite, but it's also 4x more expensive (simplifying because it's less expensive if storing smaller amounts) - so plenty of the time OP RETURN is preferable for spammers *and* the network which is the supposed rationale for all this. Obviously taking all that in isolation is foolish, but that's the steel man.
