What you basically claim is that apart from Luke Dashjr everyone in the anti spam side is not technically qualified to see the spam as existential threat. Which is ridiculous considering some of the people on the opposing side are Jimmy Song and Nick Szabo. Not to mention a bunch of very competent other devs with smaller followings like Parman and SuperTestnet. The devs you outsource your adversarial thinking to are all likely compromised. Adam Back and Shitnobi are just on the top of my mind. I can name many more.

nick-szabo has never contributed changes to bitcoin core. Neither have armantheparman nor supertestnet. jimmysong has never contributed production code to bitcoin core; only test coverage. All the people you have mentioned, besides Luke (even Shinobi and Adam Back) are ancillary thinkers, commentors or coders who have no proven pedigree for maintaining Bitcoin.

And here's the thing -- I LIKE ALL THOSE PEOPLE. I like them for what they have to say and also for what they have done with their projects that support and enhance people's usage of Bitcoin. I agree with them that spam is degenerate usage of Bitcoin and it would be PREFERABLE that it didn't exist. But that's very different than an existential crisis.
