The point of the segwit discount and how inscriptions use it, is that the beach balls are actually paying a lower fare for the same amount of space than actual passengers. The danger with inscriptions is not that they might be displacing “useful” transactions, but that they are polluting the blockchain and now all full nodes will have to spend more resources (cpu, hard drive) to validate and store those transactions. In other words, they are destroying the commons.
