btw, the "bloat" is currently 11gb. so not a big deal in my opinion as people start to switch from 1tb harddrive to 2tb for storage.
Storage is not the problem. The problem is that the UTXO set no longer fits into memory on low-end systems. Thus slowing down the node since it has to access the disk more often now.
Running one with BTCPayServer, would like to have the option to use Knots.

You are not going to fix it by encouraging more spam. They won't stop using witness data.
