Yeah, because of Core's default settings, almost all OP_RETURN transactions are smaller than 80B.

That's a filter, it has been there for years, and it clearly works.

They had to get rid of it for "metaprotocols" like this Electron bullshit to work.

And Core did it, at great cost to them, both reputation-wise and adoption-wise.

They tried to spin it like they were saving small miners or some bullshit, but this was the endgame all along. Pretty dark stuff if you ask me.
