What about the whitepaper, my friend?
Wow, you managed to contradict yourself in one sentence. If you represent the average ordinal enjooyer, yikes.
What do you think consensus means? It's people agreeing on what should/should not be done.
Read up on some Jameson Lopp to better understand Bitcoin:
"I pose to you that bitcoin’s strength comes not from being the embodiment of some dogmatic beliefs of immutability, decentralization or other buzzwords, but from collaboration. The process of taking collaboration and using it to determine human consensus can be noisy and messy, but it’s the governance model within which we must work.
As I see it, this system of governance, rooted in voluntaryism, is the only aspect of bitcoin that is ‘set in stone’."
So far most agree storing arbitrary data onchain is not the goal of Bitcoin. There is broad consensus about that. If and how we should solve it is still up for debate.
The system allows to store data, there was consensus to use the current system. You don't like it and want to change the existing consensus rules.
So far most agree
Hahahahahahaha. "Most agree". Citation needed.

There was consensus to change it many times, don't you know? Bitcoin has had many changes in its first decade, but you seem to disregard that entirely. If there is a consensus, changes can be made again. There "was" consensus for A, there can be consensus for B. That's how Bitcoin development works my friend.
I'm not saying I advocate for change, I'm saying Bitcoin was not designed for arbitrary data storage. PoW and fees can hopefully discourage such spam (for which they were designed).
Do a poll anywhere, ask Bitcoin devs and OGs or even miners, and you'll see that the majority thinks Bitcoin was not designed to store arbitrary data but as a money system.
You can know that it's not designed for that purpose if you consider how many hoops orditards have to jump through to "own" an inscription. They don't even own them. It's embedded in a tx and not even linked to a UTXO. But you probably don't know that.
It's clear from this discussion that you don't understand much about Bitcoin and are just trolling.
