This is one of the best explainers of what OP_RETURN is and how it came about. It was always limited by filters and the filters are effective even though they are sometimes bypassed. https://blog.bitmex.com/dapps-or-only-bitcoin-transactions-the-2014-debate/
Well, that's a good post, but unfortunately it's off-topic since it doesn't answer or try to answer the question in the original post.

Because your question is built on a false premise. OP_RETURN was specifically introduced because it is within consensus. The only way to limit it was with policy rules. The policy rules are effective. Why do a consensus change when one isn't needed?

It is not built on false premise. I am asking why isn't the limit INSIDE consensus rules. This is the WHOLE point of this question, nothing more.

Because it's not a consensus issue
