It is just like you have said that freedom is very important, let's face the fact, aside the fact that the ordinals and causing congestion on the bitcoin network which have resulted to extreme high transaction fees, no body probably who would have cared whether they(ordinals) existed on the bitcoin network or not, Infact, majority of us could have seen their existence on the bitcoin network as a good thing as it means more usecase for bitcoin, just like Eth is used as gas for token transactions on the Ethereum ecosystem.
But right now, we are here, and I think there isn't much we can do aside accept things the way they are, and personally, I feel that with miners rewards getting halved on every every halving, the high fees will contribute in keeping the bitcoin network secure as it will encourage the miners to keep mining, we all can shift to L2 of the bitcoin network - which is the lightning network, when the fees become too high for us to keep transaction on L1, we leave the L1 for those who are transacting in high amount of bitcoins and ready to pay any amount in fees.
