It's not a small amount of spam, and it has not disappeared. It will be on the blockchain forever.
Bitcoin is censorship-resistant money, not a censorship-resistant database. And it can't be both.
Research why the spam attack suddenly became possible after February 2023 and come to your own conclusions. You will soon see that the mempool is empty because of the spam attack.

wtf are you talking about, without money there would be no need for database, ever. The first database, the need for humans to write, its' because of money and exchange of value. People learn to do math before learning the alphabet. Study history, cry harder.

In my ignorance, I have not previously heard the argument that the mempool is empty because of spam. I'm curious how you connect those dots.

The mempool isn't empty because of the spam attack. The mempool is empty because of the CGTaxes required by the state. And because "bitcoiners" somehow have gotten soft and lazy. And because people want change to happen without making any effort themselves.
If the blockchain was completely full... for months or years that data of financial transactions would be stored too, no? So blocks would be full anyway. In fact if it became the 'world reserve currency' of sorts blocks would be completely full and transactions expensive. Would you be happy then?
I always wanted to ask: which part specifically is the money? Is it the UTXO? The blocks? The various scripts? The private keys? The public keys? Relay policy? Which part is the Money? Maybe it's the ASICs that run all night and day?
