It allows flooding of large and negligible-monetary-committment OP_RETURN transactions over the relay network, increasing the load on the internet connection. The three main design constraints making bitcoin accessible to node runners are: 1) hard drive space limitations 2) computational and RAM demands 3) network connection limitations. The node-runner constraint these changes to relay policy attack primarily are that of item (3)
