So, given that the majority of bitcoin blocks are already taking part in one or more merged mining protocols, what are the main arguments against using merged mining to create security once the block subsidy is insufficient?

If merge miners only make a small fraction of their revenue from bitcoin, then it becomes rather cheap to bribe them to mine censoring bitcoin blocks.
In that sense, the security of the bitcoin blockchain against censorship seems to depend on just the bitcoin block rewards.
