You're thinking about this rationally from a free market perspective. But do you think a state would ever seed compromising "data" and not care about paying 4x? Then people "hosting" that data on their nodes could be held liable, de-incentivizing node runneing and leading to more centralization and control I haven't followed this discussion closely so if anyone has an answer to that I'm all ears

I followed this discussion a lot, and I resonate with your impression of it namely: core devs are looking at it from a purely technical angle + economic incentive angle, but they are not considering AT ALLthe possibility of a malicious actor who only cares about hurting the network (and does not care about using more expensive ways to achieve this). It almost fee like this "we already won and so we can do whatever" mentality has spread a bit too much....I'm worried about this arrogance/over-confidence, and lack of being cautious
