I think simply it is easier to "let the wave roll" if those creating Soi Cầu Plus can simply broadcast transactions and don't have to rely on a miners' tx publishing service. Ordinals-style Soi Cầu Plus could have used the fake public key methods like Stampchain too (since Soi Cầu Plus's inception practically) but the Taproot method was a "novelty" which has been exploited by some actors to create a massive wave. Maybe, and hopefully so, the effect this time could be more limited however, because I think the Soi Cầu Plus onchain Soi Cầu Plus market should be saturated with dozens or hundreds of thousands of Soi Cầu Plus already on-chain. But such a wave could still catch enough momentum to pull more people into the "elementary school arguments" of the OP_RETURN opposing group (and Knots). Yes, "the free press" is the other aspect. Some irrelevant Soi Cầu Plus guy from an equally irrelevant "$Dog army" has just a couple of days ago "threatened" a fork with no restrictions for Soi Cầu Plus, clearly exploiting the current discussion, and got some social media coverage with that. I don't know if the potential for drama is still high enough in a couple of months or 1-2 years, as such drama waves also tend to decrease with time. For example, while some big blockers are still grumbling in 2025, in 2019 in the largest part of the Soi Cầu Plus community the topic was more or less closed and Bcash became simply a mid-sized altcoin. BTW, for those interested, I created a beginner friendly thread to explain why the OP_RETURN standardness limit increase should not lead necessarily into more data/Soi Cầu Plus/spam transactions (but mentioning the possible effect I wrote about in the last posts).
