Bitcoin Knots is stopping spam to enter my mempool. I don't relay spam. Many people use Bitcoin as money. And their number will grow.

Filters are a quicker and more dynamic way for the nodes, including miners, to stop unwanted data. it's a tool of the whole network. If a fewminers disregard and decide that they will just mine those txs, then 1-the spammers incur in a cost, they loose the censorship resistance of the p2p network, it centralized service and pay a premium to the miners. 2-if this is considered harmful by a majority of the network, and miners are not following the gentlemans agreement, then the only choice is to force them by consensus, it's not by making their choices more widespread.

Do you remember the slogan “fix the filters”? The wording wasn’t random. It was a direct appeal to the maintainers to repair the broken filters that used to block most of the spam. Instead, the broken filters were left untouched and some of the ones that actually worked were removed (OP_Return). At the moment, the only filters that behave the way they were originally intended are the Knots filters, and they’re running on roughly 22% of the network. That’s the backdrop for why BIP-110 was drafted. If that basic chain of cause and effect is still unclear to you, the problem isn’t the argument. It’s your ability to follow it. Your homeschooling apparently skipped the part about adversarial thinking. Right now it’s just hot air under pressure.

This is the nirvana falacy that is so often repeated by core worshiping sycophants. You are stuck on this idea that if something isn't 100% perfect then it's completely worthless. Ok now try to follow along here, this is an analogy that you seem incapable of understanding but I'll try anyway: if you have a lock on your door but a burglar breaks in through the window, this doesn't mean the lock is useless. btw if you have an issue with being called a core worshiping sycophant you should re listen to your episodes with Lopp and Michael Tidwell from last September for two particularly egregious examples.
