Could this be a potential attack…

Could this be a potential attack vector? It seems as if Miners could spam the chain with data using Ordinals at low cost to themselves whilst also inflating its size until a regular self-hosted node cannot keep up. Thus giving themselves more sway over future soft fork decisions.

I'm sure these miners would get called out publicly for it but that may not be enough. Is there a way to prune just this segwit data from our nodes if we want?
