In anarchocapitalism (= freest market possible), shared values are still required for the system to work properly; in the literature, this is often referenced as the "bad neighbor problem." Dismissing the problem and just moving on after the hard fork does not solve the underlying problem on the SHA256 chain. It will come back and haunt you again later.
Even if you pay for using three parking spaces in a crowded car parking it is still not a nice behavior. So paying the fee for the ordinals stuff on Bitcoin leaves a bad smell anyway that should not be excused (they paid the fee) or even encourage (we need a fee market).
In the realm of anarchism this problem is a ridge walk and also known as the "bad neighbor problem" (Hans-Hermann Hoppe). In the end the people in the bitcoin community share some values that is transacting value and therefore the bad neighbors dumping garbage on the blockchain are not welcomed and should leave.
