OP_RETURN LIMIT IS 80 BYTES IN CORE. LUKE MADE UP HIS OWN LOWER LIMIT AND THEN SAID THEY DID NOT COMPLY.

The 80 byte OP_RETURN limit is a relay standard, not a consensus rule. Nodes can set their own limit easily (-datacarriersize flag in Bitcoin Core). This means that nodes (including mining pools) are free to adjust their own relay limits on OP_RETURN size, if they want to be non-standard.

tl;dr: You are free to make up your own byte limit but noone else has to "comply" with it.

100%. POOLS CAN EVEN MINE EMPTY BLOCKS IF THEY WANT.

It's how it works. Broadcast the rules you agree with. If it gets added to the chain with the most accumulated proof of work, then it's bitcoin.
