Yes, Ordinals has exposed how utterly retarded Bitcoin has become. We used to fix exploits routinely, now we have countless complete whoppers arguing that Bitcoin is a data storage system, captured Core devs shutting down discussions about BIPS to patch the exploits being used and arguing that the only important thing is what miners want, and progress halted as a result of the scams being built on Bitcoin because of the obvious correlation between spam wankers and promoters of the various OP codes currently being talked about.

So, if you want your favourite scaling proposal to be merged, get on board with stopping the spam first. You don't scale before you fix bugs, otherwise you just scale the bugs!
