His rationale is not based on a threat to the consensus rules but on a threat to decentralisation of the bitcoin network. I'm not saying that he's right, I don't know it. I'm just saying that your framing is wrong, in my opinion.

where that threat to decentralisation of the bitcoin network comes from?
As far as I understand it: the harder, more expensive and/or more dangerous (illegal?) is to run a bitcoin node, the less people will run nodes, the more centralised the network, the more it is vulnerable. The idea is that spam is making it harder to run nodes.
It's one of the bitcoin weakening vectors that they are blaming some Core devs for.
