ChainCatcher message, Ethereum core developer and Geth client developer Péter Szilágyi stated on social media that the Ethereum clients Nethermind and Besu stopping the storage of Ethereum historical data and hoping to standardize this behavior without violating the protocol is irresponsible.

Allowing users not to store historical chains is a very dishonest marketing tactic; users switch to the X client because it is smaller; they can still access old data because Geth provides it; users are completely unaware of this with the Geth developers. They could collaborate on EIP-4844 to first help archive historical blocks, and then all clients could delete them at once, but the market share would not change.

Péter Szilágyi expressed a desire to exit Ethereum, saying, "Since even the core developers are maximizing their interests relative to other developers, why bother trying to make it better? I am deeply disappointed in everyone involved."
