"so any promise of a filter is a lie" Not unless you're meaning 100% effective filters (which would be kind of disingenuous, right?). Filters obviously work. They are used in real world and tech, extensively.

No sir, bitcoin has rules, basically these rules are measured in consensus parameters and it asks you to pay a fee, bitcoin is an accounting ledger with data, you can use reversible steganography to enter images with the data chopped into pieces as multiple fake multi-signature outputs, without having to use ordinals or op_return, this protocol exists and is called stamps, if you want to filter stamps you have to prohibit multi-signatures, that the outputs of a transaction are more than 2 and a lot of things, basically playing cat and mouse and affecting legitimate users who use bitcoin for wanting to play at being a central entity that wants to control transactions that it does not like even if they comply with the rules and pay their fees.
