However, OP_RETURN is a tolerated and standardized abuse that bitcoiners came up with to prevent abusers from using output scripts to "inject data" into the chain and create unspendable UTXOs.
so would you consider segwit to be another "tolerated and standardized abuse"? how does 2 things that take up the same storage space on disk and yet one of them has an artificial thing that weighs it less? sounds like abuse to me. ripe for abuse.
