If decentralization is not important, you can scale to your hearts desire.
Then the question becomes why do you even need blockchain? Why not simply use a centralized system that scales much better.

You are missing out one critical thing. BIP 110 criteria for filtering is the size of data, not type.

Nothing wrong with what Andreas said, but don't forget we are talking about Bitcoin transactions. Moving Sats without a third party.
Peer to peer electronic cash.
Unless you believe Bitcoin transactions can be anything, not just moving Sats. They can be moving other tokens (BRC-20) or inscriptions. While we are at it, why don't we ditch all the rules, because someone will eventually have a use case that is prohibited by the rules and will call us dictators that love to censor.

BTC is a protocol (set of rules) whose implementation (Core, Knots, Libre Relay, etc.) node runners choose to run to enforce the rules of the protocol. Let's not pretend there are no rules that need to be enforced.

It's like someone comes to a chess tournament, wants to play checkers and then complains about dictatorship because they were pointed to a fact that this is a chess tournament.
