What is the problem with having 4mb blocks? 2TB SSD's are pretty cheap these days. Filling 2TB will probably take another decade and the standard will likely be 4 or 8TB SSD's then.
Why is this an attack?

Its not a problem of transaction fees, block size or network transfer. The primary issue is growth rate of the UTXO set which inscriptions and bitcoin stamps exacerbate. We need to focus on solving that for longterm Bitcoin benefit
So they are creating too many UTXO'S too fast? If it continues we might need more computing power like running nodes over a GPU or something?
it puts increasing strain on the initial block download process.
also, not all users of Bitcoin live in affluent western counteries where bleeding edge consumer storage devices are cheap & abundant...
I think the biggest issue are higher tx fees.
Stupid jpegs lock hundreds of millions of people out of using the base layer & lightning without custodians.
People who need bitcoin can’t use it because of grifters selling imaginary bananas on the blockchain to fucking retards.
People from poor countries have a Right; to run a node too...
If nfts are an attack, so too bitcoin adoption, since increased use for regular monetary transactions will result in the same issue.
