I agree with your last post here. The thinking of most core developers is that there is no point in maintaining an option that effectively achieves nothing. It is compared with a placebo. If transactions make it into blocks anyway, and there is no physical resource consumption downside, what is the point of keeping them out of the mempool?

Well I’m no expert but it seems to be that if ocean mines a block with a strict data limit, then on average it will drive big data transaction cost higher.
So yes it does matter imo.
Regardless, I am not in agreement that the current Bitcoin core software should remove the ability for users to set their own limit for op_return size
I think Ocean's market share is too small to have an effect here, though obviously that might change. They also use a different client already, so why should Bitcoin Core maintain something that they don't even directly use?
