Fee estimation again... fee estimation is a terrible feature and only leads to users not learning how to manage fees properly, and about RBF.

With all due respect, this is completely incorrect.

And the main network "damage" is that spam miners

Do miners want blockspace or not? I know that some miners mine on 'principle' and that's great, good for them. But the vast majority mine in order to be rewarded with fees. Who and what pays fees?

until they became spam lovers.

That... is not true. Am I a 'spam lover' because I run core? I have zapped more sats to SN than I have stacked (according to the stats it shows). I just don't think relay policy works right now. It is broken and removing limits simplifies things... But I fully recognize I am NOT an expert. I have done the filtering myself on and off and I run Core at default settings and use Bitcoin when I have the opportunity.

I truly believe that is the best use of the network rn for most people.

There was always be demand for data storage. But that 'demand' has to compete with the world's monetary demand and there's no way that can happen without being incredibly expensive.
