As far as I can tell all Bitcoin Core contributors are only interested in Bitcoin as a monetary system, although some are more excited about nascent scaling technologies than others.
We've seen at least three waves of data transaction uses get priced out of Bitcoin so far, and just because a sober assessment indicates that it will always be possible to embed data in the Bitcoin block chain doesn't mean that any Bitcoin Core developers are motivated by that.
That said, I have in 12 years not seen a mempool policy tightening, especially not against any transaction types that had more than vanishing demand. I'm not convinced it's feasible without making it financially attractive to break rank.
