It means you get harmless prunable outputs instead of shit that looks like a real output but is just junk that bloats the UTXO set (which has more resource usage than a prunable output).

my understanding of printing: archival nodes can’t prune. so we need archival nodes to spin up new nodes, yes? so for an individual node runner it’s a step forward, a plus. but for tbr network as a whole, it’s no step, just stays the same at best, and bloats the chain itself at worst seems like a very meager benefit to trade for more hefty risks
