I only listened to the first ten minutes, but could someone perhaps summarize how OP_RETURNs would increase the cost of running a node? He lost me at that point.
He explains this well. I am not wasting my time.

There can be up to 4 MB of witness data in a block, but only 1 MB of other transaction data. Output scripts are "other transaction data". So, if you put data in an OP_RETURN, it results in a smaller block than when you put it in witness data.
So, yeah, the point doesn’t make sense to me.
