Isn't that the point of a permissionless and decentralized network, that arbitrary decision makers can't decide what is illegal and remove it or prevent it from being embedded into it?
Here I must agree with the critics of Ordinals and similar stuff: The purpose of Bitcoin is not storing non-financial data. Developer decisions affecting this "functionality" thus aren't censorship.
Purpose as defined by who?
