It is impossible to fix the 'inscriptions bug' at this time. Maybe there was a small window in 2023 (maybe - it's not guaranteed) with enough social and technical pressure it could have been 'addressed' with a very aggressive change in relay policy.
But now? No way that ship has sailed. Only a very small percentage of nodes need to relay a transaction to have it get to miners, and generally speaking miners like fees.
Op_return is 4x as expensive as witness script for its size.
Sorry, but it's absurd to pretend that people would resist a bugfix. The only people who would want to keep the inscription bug are the people who exploit it, and some fools who believe that we need to shovel additional funds to mining operations.
People also keep repeating that a minority relaying transactions would guarantee they are mined, but it's something that core devs have contradicted for the last decade, they used to say that the risk of slow propagation incentivizes miners to produce blocks that a majority of nodes relay.
Op_return being 4x as expensive means there are zero incentives to use it.
This post is complete nonsense. Core refused to fix the inscription bug, and then tell use filters don't work. Lol. Create problem, refuse to fix it, use problem as justification to remove all protection and create more problems.
