The consequences of doing nothing to prevent the next one?

With users seeing this and ending forever their plans on dealing only in
BTC for on-chain tx and switching to alternatives?
No i mean the consequences if ordinals dies down. then there was less than a year of monkeys and then they're gone. do the existing monkeys cause a long term damage on bitcoin or something? the blockspace used would have been the same no matter if its for monkeys or paying bills.
