Spoken like someone who doesn't contribute computing resources to the network.
Being able to arbitrarily raise the storage and memory costs to run a full node with cheap frivolous data is in effect an attack vector on Bitcoin's decentralization.
Ordinals people may be plain old idiots or they may be sophisticated attackers with a large budget, but it doesn't really matter. Long-term thinking noderunners would benefit from mitigating this exploit in any case.
Not to mention that apathy is a very bad strategy if the end goal is to run the bitcoin experiment for +100 years. If node runners are trained to rationalize things away and do nothing instead of looking for ways to mitigate the problems we face and fight back, at some point we'll fail.
