are you familiar with the phrase "stated preferences versus revealed preferences"?
citrea revealed that they dgaf (as they stated), it does not matter to them. their software runs with v29 just fine....
> The change was made "for them"
i think not even that is entirely true, but at least partially true.
Antoine wanted citrea to use OP_RETURN, citrea was reluctant to admit they could be bullied into using large OP_RETURNs.
the core devs understood the underlying incentive problem. and they wanted to get rid of it. and so far so good. but then they made an error in reasoning. instead of increasing the default to a level safely above the incentive misalignment (160 or 200 bytes of payload), they assumed this would be a never ending story and decided to remove the setting.
