Satoshi specifically opposed the blockchain being used for data storage. But its apparent Bitcoin's users do not oppose using the blockchain for data storage, which is why they pay fees to Bitcoin miners to do it.

How can you be so sure that Bitcoin users are not opposed to Ordinals? First of all, when Taproot was introduced and finally implemented, "Ordinals" and "BRC-20" weren't realized yet and probably not one of the Core developers were considering that people would be burning images on-chain when they were building these features. For instance core developer Luke Jr. Is known for calling on-chain "inscriptions" garbage and speaking against them.

But now that transactions are so expensive I'm pretty sure that if someone was to poll the Bitcoin community on if they would like "inscriptions" to stop being supported in order to help with mempool bloat and transaction fees, most would be very supportive.
