Here's why the Bitcoin Core vs. Bitcoin Knots situation would never happen to Monero.
1. XMR employs dynamic block sizes instead of BTC's fixed block sizes, helping the protocol deal with transaction spikes and mitigating congestion, making spam attacks on the network more costly and less effective.[1] This means there would not be any concern about spam in the first place because XMR does not have to deal with arbitrary data storage like BTC Core has with OP_RETURN, meaning less bloat.
2. XMR is fungible in nature. This means that transactions are indistinguishable from each other, making censorship impossible. This contrasts from BTC transactions being visible on its blockchain, including non-financial data and spam.
3. XMR uses the RandomX algorithm for PoW, meaning that XMR mining becomes more decentralized as any kind of technology can be used for mining.[2] As a result, there is a smaller chance of XMR mining becoming centralized.
4. XMR's P2Pool protocol means that miners do not become dependent on a central entity controlling the network.[3]
