The stats you've seen probably came from me, via https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27432#issuecomment-2659802629 . So perhaps cut it out on pretending it's something I'm not thinking about. The utxo growth is a real attack vector, and discouraging unnecessary utxo growth is precisely why we don't want monetary users like Citrea and its bridge idea to bake permanent increases that can never be removed into their protocol.
There are devs explicitly working on projects to prevent utxo growth being a problem, and the dust limit which is explicitly focused on discouraging that use case is widely supported by devs despite not totally preventing it.
