arent nodes running filters to impede this propagation as a way to marginally discourage behavior of relaying transactions not accepted by the wider network? thats the entire point, it works. why wouldnt expanding those filters to include utxo-bloat spam work also?
when a peer is relaying a bunch of spam to my node, my node basically treats that peer like a block relay. not my business that he sends those txs to me multiple times and not his business i refuse to forward along transactions. in the event where multiple chaintips appear, I'd prefer to relay that the block with more of the transactions ive already validated in memory over the one where theres transactions my node hasnt validated
