We still have censorship resistance because there’s no stopping someone from mining their own blocks, right?
No, see #1222210:
Sure, it only takes one block, but if everybody else can get into each block while I can only get into one block a year, I would consider myself censored, not very unlike a bank closing my account.
In reality, if you’re really mining your own tx, it’s more like never though.
Bitcoin’s censorship resistance relies on miners acting in their own interest, not that everyone is mining their own tx, that would be ridiculous.
Chris Guida & Co. are suggesting miners to not be selfish, see debate in the linked post.
This is absolutely crazy to me.
You should really watch the debate.

that would be ridiculous
Because getting a single confirmation on your tx would be like winning the lottery
