Since February 2023 mempool almost not empty and i thought that 2-3 biggest pool can spam mempool with low-fee transactions just to get more fee.
Just check out this block: https://mempool.space/block/0000000000000000000421dea73b197dec0c1c57a4620c274b7b048c1786c35b
all block is full of $0.08 cent transactions with $0.24 cents fee.
Even if what you are saying is true still it is not harming the Bitcoin users, the fee required to make your transaction is 7sat/vbyte which is considerably low. If they really want to push the network to increase the TX fees then they need to fill the blocks with high TX fees transaction which will obviously going to be a loss for them so they can continue to spam the network with low fee TX and make less profit than they used to be or just do nothing at all to make more profits.Just check out this block: https://mempool.space/block/0000000000000000000421dea73b197dec0c1c57a4620c274b7b048c1786c35b

I think best what we can do is propagate to avoid big pull, because this attack has to be created from 2-3 biggest pool and that attack with fee which a bit lower than average.
Hopefully, lightning network and liquid network will reduce payload of mempool with enough power to prevent such attack on feature.
Big disadvantages for miners which i see with attack like this that hashrete still grove up what means that miners grove up potential concurrent for themselves.
If this problem will rise for next 5 years (till 2028) we will need new discussion and probably new spam detection software which should filter same amount with same fee transaction and some bitcoins freeze if that transferred in last 2 days.
This block is a good example of this type https://mempool.space/block/0000000000000000000173b690c0f0cdef738eebaaafea82b75c95f253a56f2f
