The change to the OP_RETURN size limit is more like a technical move designed to improve network efficiency and not to actually enable more spam. It is actually  supposed to be a kinda strategic effort to encourage data storage to shift from more harmful methods like those used by Ordinals to a less harmful one.

I think the core of the issue isn't about if data can be stored on the blockchain but kinda about how it's actually stored. The simple truth is, the market for NFTs and other data is kinda limited by what people are willing to pay and this change may not make storing that data any cheaper.
In the end the only real risk of a temporary increase in activity might be a new marketing trend and not really a fundamental technical shift.
