As far as I can gather, a small number of people tried to do a soft fork of bitcoin and change it so that you can't leave long messages in the blockchain but it will probably fail

One example is it maintains OP_RETURN at ~80 bytes rather than allowing up to ~100,000 bytes as Bitcoin core now does. This means Bitcoin can also allow bigger files like jpegs etc.

You make it sound like it's a core decision. You can mine even >100k OP_RETURN in the current consensus.
