A miner who mines a valid tx seems to me to be a factual miner (greedy).

I run a node and have been for years. It hasn't gotten appreciably harder or more expensive.

Storage is the absolute cheapest resource.

But where we really disagree is that I think BIP 110 makes Bitcoin less secure. By arbitrarily picking some previously valid transactions and disallowing them, it damages the confidence bitcoiners have that the coins they hold will be spendable in the future. It sets a precedent for evaluating a transaction not by block validation rules, but some other moral argument. It is no different than the foolish attempts of governments to label certain kinds of speech "bad."
