True-ish, on OP_RETURN. It is the lesser of arbitrary data evils (in UTXO memory space, but still a block-space blight. Most ordinal OP_RETURNs float right at the UTXO dust-limit. Meaning it is never intended to be of monetary value, but still remain transferable (spendable). This is how ordinals work... And most-evil are inscriptions which abuse Taproot operations and addresses to encode (inscribe) data into MANY UTXOs. These now represent the majority of Bitcoin UTXOs stored in UTXO memory.
Rug the scammers, take back Bitcoin. BIP110 detractors tend to be emotional mid-wits. If this stuff is OK to anybody here, go research Solana or Ethereum. We built Bitcoin, we were here first.

Only utxos need to be stored in memory. OP_RETURN data does not as there's nothing spendable about it. It's always going to be possible to store data you don't like in the chain and whether it's two cents or two dollars per megabyte it's a steal for, and I'll do you one better, universe-wide redundancy. After all that BIP110 still doesn't make sense.
