It's not, according to Bitcoin Core: > Bitcoin is a network that is defined by its users, who have ultimate freedom in choosing what software they use (fully-validating or not) and implementing whatever policies they desire. Bitcoin Core contributors are not in a position to mandate what those are. One way this is reflected is by our long-running practice of avoiding auto-updating in the software. This means that no entity can unilaterally push out changes to Bitcoin Core users: changes must be made by users choosing to adopt new software releases themselves, or if they so desire, different software. Being free to run any software is the network’s primary safeguard against coercion.

Can someone tell me why increasing op_return size limit is a good thing? How does it make bitcoin better as a monetary network? Does it make lightning, Ark, or ecash way better?
