No, I don't see the point which suggests you can *force* a bitcoin-core node to store (or look at) arbitrary data.

If you run bitcoin-core with default settings, you are opting to store all data that follows consensus. If you run knots then you and choosing to store data according to different rules.

The choice, and sovereignty is yours as the node runner.

I am not arguing against OGs like Mechanic in favor of arbitrary data.
I am pointing out that newbs might translate this as FUD that somehow core nodes are no longer sovereign.
