You are forgetting the witness transaction IDs and the fact that a merkle root hash of wtxids (computed using everything in a tx including the junk) is also created and stored in an output of coinbase tx and is verified as part of the consensus rules to prevent transactions inside the blockchain from being modified when relaying blocks.
oops. i guess franky might have slipped up on his idea of how to debunk ordinals by claiming how they are subject to modification and being overwritten by something else in the case of a chain reorganization. but he sounded convincing but i'm glad you set him straight...

Ordinals is using an exploit in the protocol where certain limits were not introduced in SegWit scripts where it allows injecting large arbitrary amount of data into the chain to abuse Bitcoin as a cloud storage ergo it is an attack.
well but you can't just go around trying to plug every crack and tighten up every little loophole. obviously people are going to take advantage of features in bitcoin. at this point, it's considered a feature of bitcoin, this ordinals thing. you can't remove a feature. sorry you feel you are being attacked but no one is trying to attack your use of bitcoin they're just trying to use it for how it benefits them. that's what i would think.
