with all due respect these are the overwhelming positions/views/takes from knots advocates i have seen in kratter's videos (that i linked to) and in many, many others.
They may not be your position... but they are a very common position/articulated understanding from knots advocates. Just read the video comments.
As far as the orphan block thing i mean maybe it's true but i'm skeptical. My understanding of the argument is that compact relay is slower for miners mining spam that fewer nodes include... so they're at a disadvantage.
I have also read that larger miners, in such an instance, will be better connected to the network and have a material advantage relative to smaller miners that depend on compact block relay.
Plus smaller miners win blocks less often... so are more vulnerable to orphan blocks anyway as compared to foundry for example that can mine their own blocks consecutively.
Smaller miners with custom templates are more vulnerable than larger ones... increasing centralization risk which is what we don't want. I think the jury is still out on this stuff either way without more data.
Not true? op_return is technically consensus the size of op_return is relay policy. Op_return of 100kb is consensus valid and has been for years fwiu that's why it's possible in blocks today just not common because it's really expensive and relay policy is standard 80 bytes.
You're using YouTube comments as a reasonable sample set? I bet it was only a subset of stupid comments, but idiots are always overrepresented in YouTube comments.

Maybe I just ignore stupid comments more than you but I don't think picking the dumbest people on one side of any argument is a wise approach.
About orphaned blocks, you're getting into very much not remedial territory, and I'm not qualified to comment. But it's certainly something reasonable and intelligent and informed people can investigate whether without resorting to ad hominems and staking their relations on conclusions in advance.
the size of op_return is relay policy That's what I said. What was not true?
