Are there any SPV wallet which still use bloom filter nowadays?

Apparently there are, because if I turn them on my "inbound" connections go from 20-50 to 120-200 . And over a typical days time I would serve out 30-40GB where in the last 24hrs on 0.19.1 with them off i've served 8gb.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but after reading some material on it, the privacy risk seems to be the clients and not mine, the risk is if I was running a node with intent to do something with that info the SPV clients expose to me.

I've just read certain things and opinions, like:
- your not a full node unless your offering bloom filters.
- CUtting it off is playing government it's an allowed bip and not offering it is attempting to encourage others behavior, aka, trying to tell them what to do
- your node will be overrun with DOS attacks

stuff like that. Surely, it's up to me. Was just trying to edumacate myself to the best of my ability to decide. I appreciate the education and responses!
