it was always about fee estimation, it's just fee estimation is hard and wasn't prioritized to the same extent till recently.
RBF only works if you have some way to estimate to begin with.
WHY do you want to relay transactions? (any transaction)
think about it.

Depends on what you mean with “works”. Bumping blindly to higher feerates if you didn’t get confirmed in a block does work fine, if you are not trying to pay the minimal amount or make it into the next block.

So bitcoin didn't relay transactions before 2015 when fee estimation was added? https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/v0.10.0/doc/release-notes.md#transaction-fee-changes
And only computer scientists without any experience in the real economy think it's a problem they can solve (they can't)

so again WHY do you want to relay transactions?
what problem are you trying to solve?

Read my initial comment and stop wasting my time, thanks

"Another purpose is to relay transactions, that's the whole "censorship resistant" part. Relaying transactions that are harmful for the network has never been a goal, until the core pivot."
where is the why?
because they are beneficial to the network? how do you know they are beneficial?
Sorry for making you think. And you're welcome. You can always block me.
You can't block others from reading this though. 💡🧠 🤯
Btw I don't think you have a why, not one you can articulate in words and thoughts. Vibes feel nice.
Bitcoin doesn't run on vibes though.
If you don't know what you are trying to do when you are trying to do it, you are not going to get ahead in life.
