I disagree. Data clearly shows the use of tx spam to congest the network to make a point.

It has been explained too many times, that bigger blocks inevitably lead to centralization, while the opposite is why we’re all here.

Miner centralization is too bad already. One malicious actor (Jihan) is in a position to stifle innovation and prevent proper scaling for monetary gains.

BU is developed by a handful of developers with an unimpressive track record, which leads to a concerning centralization of development. I guess I don’t have to lay out the advantages of a bigger number of independent devs.
