He thinks it's bad that spammers have to pay typically higher fees out of band. This seems to be the common argument given in favor of the PR.
In reality this is a direct result of the spam filter working. Spamming should be expensive as possible.
They take the desired outcome and twist that to be the reason why we should get rid of filters.

You made the argument above. You said it's not fair that some miners benefit from high fees from out of band transactions, i.e. the spam transactions that exceed the op_return limit.
"At this point, it seems better to make these transactions available to all miners, so at least the miners benefit fairly from the additionally available fees..."

The point is that direct submission and private relay result in a subset of the miners building blocks from a bigger pool of transactions, because they have access to transactions other miners don't know about. Not that the out of band fees are too high.
