If there is a window in your house that has a dodgy lock on it. And if, in the past, someone has entered through that window and taken a dump on the floor of your house. Then is that a good reason to leave the front door wide open from now on?

You can’t stop pubkey spam. Publey spam bloats the utxo set. Bloating the utxo set makes it impossible to run a node on minimal hardware because ram requirements become to great. This is already happening today. An better analogy is. There is a porch shitter who shits on your doormat everyday. You can’t stop them so you put a bucket out to hope that they will have the decency to use it. Welcome to the decentralized permissionless world.
