Yeah it is bounded per block. But the blockchain grows forever. That isn't bounded. And having a growth rate that's just slightly higher per block, does add up significantly over time. Keep in mind that a full node needs to download the entire chain. This gets harder and harder with time.

You're right about that but it doesn't matter.

Monetary transactions are so scarce these days they'd probably be outbid by spam even if spam didn't have a discount.

But it's all irrelevant because nobody (other than zealots) really worries about blockchain spam.

The 1mb (or 4 with witness) is well bounded and neat and has no issues with resources. The mempool and utxo set is not  well bounded and more worrying

But utreexo takes care of utxos and mempool. If only everybody would use it.
