I think that the argument "discount on storing data in witness creates
an incentive to store data exactly in the witness (...)" is
fallacious. The "witness discount" does not affect the cost of data
storage in a Bitcoin node. What the "witness discount" affects is the
priority of a transaction pending confirmation only. For example, a
SegWit type of transaction of size of 1MB is prioritized (by miners)
over a non-SegWit transaction of the same size and fee. "Segwit
discount" benefits bloated transactions and puts simple transactions
at disadvantage (demonstrated at
"https://gregtonoski.github.io/bitcoin/segwit-mispricing/comparison-of-cost=
s.html"
and "https://gregtonoski.github.io/bitcoin/segwit-mispricing/Comparison_of_=
4MB_and_1.33MB_blocks_in_Bitcoin.pdf").
The Bitcoin fee is not charged per UTXO set size. It is not charged
from a node operator. Nodes are up and running independently of
Bitcoin fees.
Any relation between UTXO set size and discount would be artificial
and inefficient, wouldn't it?
