How is Core keeping the UXTO set small given the witness discount?
Lifting OP_RETURN limits doesn't address the fact that embedding arbitrary data in the witness script is cheaper, meaning that the network would have to rely on the good intentions of the "spammers" to rearrange their higher level protocols to fetch data from the witness script of the transaction instead of from the OP_RETURN output.

You mention the witness discount, but you don't make a clear point
Are you advocating for a fork to remove, or perhaps just decrease, that discount?
I'm open minded about different *realistic* plans to improve the chain - e.g. decreasing the size of the UTXO set - but your response didn't include any practical plan
