what is the difference between utxo set bloat and blockchain bloat?
There is no difference.
Of course there is a difference. The UTXO set are all of the unspent outputs, against which new transactions are verified. The blockchain is the entire history of transactions up until now. If you want to run a full node, you have to store the entire blockchain. You don't however need to store the entire UTXO set with UTreeXO, only the outputs that you own.
The point is that utxo bloat is a scarier problem than blockchain bloat.
So if you can solve utxo bloat, there really isn't any kind of bloat priblem.
( blocks are limited to 1mb, utxo set has no limit. )
tldr utreexo solves the more serious problem. and there is no other way to solve it.
making utreexo (on a long enougj timescale) inevitable.
( blocks are limited to 1mb, utxo set has no limit. )
Blocks are limited to 4 MB.

Agreed.
Though that doesn't make big spam-filled blocks any better.

Which Luke knows perfectly well. Possibly better than anyone.
Time will tell...
