No, you’re missing the point.
As filtering becomes increasingly common, more and more transactions will go out of band.
So what do mining pools do? They’ll invest in building private transaction rails, and it becomes commoditized over time, so prices will plummet, long term. So there’s no deterrent to what you consider “spam.”
And now the public mempool is dead, fee estimation is basically impossible, and people submit their transactions (even financial-only transactions) directly to miners instead of using the mempool.

If we are on that path then the solution is to beat miners back into submission. Not reward them for destroying bitcoin as money.
I appreciate your perspective but the Unique Value Proposition of Bitcoin as money is worth defending. Letting retards litter it with jpegs is a threat to that.
This is the wrong solution. What we should be working on is mining decentralization. Core should make it simple for hashers to run their own node.
Core’s “solution” here is to give up and just accept that 4-5 mining pool operators control Bitcoin
Fuck that

You are an idiot if you think “fee estimation is dead”
