Great, if you're certain then create a BIP to change it so we can tell the forkers to gfy

Probably could tweak relaying to lower minimums, but that hasn't happened in part because going below the base units becomes indistinguishable from spam

Min relay fee was introduced in 2013, when BTC was worth ~$100.

A sat is now worth 1000 times more. If the value of a sat was sufficient to prevent spam in 2013, why can't we use a fraction of it today to prevent spam?

Nodes can use 0.1 sats/vbyte (or less) as min relay fee today. So, if a tx has 138 vbytes, it would need to pay at least 14 sats in fees (you need to round it up).
