spammers also don't care about utxo bloat and putting spam in op_return is more expensive than putting in witness data with taproot so they have no incentive.

True. But other use cases exist that could be done in damaging ways or less damaging ways. If we make it so only the more damaging path is available we ensure that will be the path taken. If we don’t supply a method for harm reduction we are choosing to have the chain more bloated.
OK so lets all stop pretending that op_return change is for any other reason other than Citrea needs, bc yes they can use op_return and it's less harmful, and the discussion can be focused on that use case, and for that the app limit could be just enough for Citrea to use, and put it on a consensus level so that miner follow that. this way everyone would be happy, instead we are making discussion points about porn and other crap. There is a specific use case and either it's allowed in a controlled manner to diminish any attack surface(spam/porn) or we don't support the use case at all and block that use case at consensus level.
