Bitcoin runs on incentives.
Nodes have no incentive to relay trash and assist in making their own transactions more expensive.
The only reason they would is because they've had a 1984-style deletion of the instinct to differentiate between genuine usage of Bitcoin as money and parasitic "use-cases" that only degrade the former.
The deletion of the tools they would use in service of that instinct get memory holed as "useless" and all serious discussion declined.
Just upgraded my node from Bitcoin Core to Bitcoin Knots. Running (v27.1.knots20240801 via Docker). 😙
You can't stop all spam on the blockchain.
But you can choose not to relay BS.
