“I prefer decentralization. Which is also why I dont see knee jerk reactions as the solution as they often come with unintended consequences. Changes to standardness rules for relaying but not consensus rules to match makes the network more centralizing to miners.” Why make it more centralizing to miners? At its worst, those do not change anything in the dynamic behavior of the existing Bitcoin system. (“knee jerk reaction”: how should I understand that phrase?)

Exactly. I DONT want to centralize more to miners. Hence, I dont want to incentivize that by making people have to work with miners directly for their transactions. If we cant relay, then we lose censorship resistance.
