High fees as a consequence of ordinals has pros and cons. It's great for the security budget, but bad for nodes and decentralisation.

One day BTC block rewards will go to zero and the network will fail unless fees become huge to pay for security.

IMO decentralisation is more important right now.

I would have preferred the impact of ordinals to have been a lot later when the security budget becomes more pressing, it would be at a time when decentralisation is already anchored.
