The BIP is not designed to increase the cost of spam. It's designed to close OP_RETURN.
Those opposed keep saying it doesn't increase the cost of spam or solve spam to try and keep people from supporting the BIP. The BIP specifically addresses this and states clearly that the BIP is not designed to remove all spam. It's to close specific attack vectors.
