You are telling me that for years there has been a problem with bloating the UTXO set and then one day Antoine meets the founder of Citrea and is like “omg that’s bad we can just fix it by standardizing large op_return” And then everybody else at Core is like omg brilliant!

the two are probably related. core always tried to prevent UTXO set bloat, because it fucks up their architecture. they were not even particularly worried about citrea i think. they were worried about other new protocols copying their example much more prolifically.
