"What people relay through their own Bitcoin full nodes and the standards they use to prioritize txs and verify blocks is their own business."
Yes, if somebody wants to limit their own view to mempool, nobody is stopping you.
"It is you 🫵🏻 who wants to mandate what nodes have to relay."
You just stated that you would like to prevent completely valid transactions from relaying just because you don't like them. You forgot that every Bitcoin transaction is a digital message. But luckily, Bitcoin is designed to be cencorship resistant, so even if you don't like the message there's not much you can do to censor them.
"...then there is literally no reason to remove filters."
That is true that it really doesn't matter much if there is a filter or not. The problem is that now when the fees are low and people who don't know better are willing to pay the fee to put data onchain they do it often very inefficient way. That's why there is OP_RETURN.
You can put data onchain with many way but the OP_RETURN is the best and least "harmful" way.
Are you with me with this?
