OK, then what do the "we" propose do to effectively get rid of the "Ordinals Attack"?
A LONG time ago when the attack was starting, I said that the Ordinals Attack is something that needs to be "nipped in the bud" because it is effectively creating an incentive to regular newbies to participate in the attack. At that time simple standard rules would have slowed down this cancer Tongue

Now however, the scam market has grown and a lot of brainless gamblers are buying into this crap which makes it that much harder to stop.

Add to that the fact that devs didn't bother with thinking about a solution for the attack until way into the attack and the fact that even later nothing serious happened (as seen by the PRs @ABCbits shared that only address part of the problem) then we have ourselves a mess.

At this point I think the only remaining hope is for some third party creating a side-chain to create this garbage there and then pump it so that the gamblers actually bother going there. That way we can "transfer the cancer" out of Bitcoin and let it die there instead of it metastasizing here.
The "pumping" part is important...
