I see it like this:

What is our purpose or objective? 

We want bitcoin to be the world’s money because when the world adopts a hard money, there will be fewer wars, no inflation stealing people’s retirements, and more long-term thinking. 

Yes, runes and ordinals create demand for block space, but does that help us further our goal?

What are the pros?

The extra money paid to miners does incentivize more investment in mining and increase the network hashrate. In theory this provides more security to the network. 

What are the cons?

It seems these fees are encouraging mining pool centralization through back channel payments (“MEVil”). 

Higher fees are preventing people around the world from using bitcoin as money. Transactions for lower value amounts will be delayed or won’t be feasible. 

My conclusion 

I view these “innovations” as a net negative because I don’t believe these new protocols increase bitcoin’s use as money and I don’t see the benefit to growing the hashrate artificially. 

 I explained a bit about this here. 

Yes there will be MEV on Bitcoin. Mining pools will accept tips to have your transaction go through vs others. But wasn't it possible before this as well? Say I want to buy a $1B worth of Oil using Bitcoin. The king of UAE says the first Bitcoin transaction to hit his wallet will get the oil. Others will be refunded. If you wanted that oil, you would be willing to pay millions to the mining pools to land your transaction first. Isn't that MEV? 

Monotonous, anonymous transactions might not lead to MEV on Bitcoin but Bitcoin is a public chain with many known entities. It will lead to MEV one way or the other.

 This makes sense, but who is we?  There are uber rich that do not share this outlook.  I will go so far as to say there are whales who want to crush the whole concept.
