What are you going to do about it?  Bitcoin is designed to be censorship resistant, so you can't just "end ordinals".

Bitcoin is also designed to be a payment system and not a cloud storage. You can't just pick one definition of it and ignore the rest whenever it doesn't suite your view.


In that case, Bitcoin has even more features than it was originally designed to have.
This is not exactly true and many people have no idea. Early versions of the bitcoin client included an IRC client as some code relics of a would be poker game. Satoshi's early vision of bitcoin was probably that it could do multiple things from within the very client the payments are also launched. But nowhere do we get any idea that satoshi would have wanted the blockchain to be used as storage...
