Subject: [bitcoin-dev] Witness script validation to reject arbitrary data

From what I understand, things like inscriptions can only be inserted between two specific flags - OP_FALSE and OP_IF. Having a validation check to reject witness scripts that have arbitrary data between these two flags could be used to reject inscriptions while still allowing all the benefits of taproot. This will prevent people from overloading the network with txns geared solely for ordinals and brc-20 tokens.
Is there a reason such a validation check is a bad idea? We already have OP_RETURN to store arbitrary data that is limited to 80kb. Was it an oversight that arbitrary data can be inserted between OP_FALSE and OP_IF when the size limit for witness scripts was lifted as part of taproot?
Thanks,
Moth
