That's just an artifical limitation of the current inscription protocol. Th=

are endless ways to embed arbitrary data in Bitcoin transactions. Blocking =

all is a hopeless task.

It's pointless to even try.
The current flood of inscription txs are very small, about 150vB, and embed
very little data in the chain. They could have just as easily used OP_RETURN
outputs or any number of other data encoding techniques. Blocking that kind=
of
use-case is hopeless.
The _purpose_ of the current flood of BRC-20 inscriptions - tl;dr the creat=
ion
of a new set of assets via an auction - is something that doesn't even requ=
ire
any data to be embedded in the chain at all. They could have implemented th=
em
with perfectly normal transactions indistinguishable from any other
transaction. Blocking that is truly hopeless.
