Aside from proof-of-publication (i.e. data storage directly in the UTXO
set) there is no usage of script which can't be equally (or better)
accomplished by using a Segwit v0 or Taproot script.

Restricting it to OP_RETURN would have zero effect on people trying to
use scriptpubkeys for data storage. They would switch to any of the 65
or so other OP_RETURN equivalents, and failing that, switch to
OP_RESERVED, then to OP_FALSE, then to `0 1 EQVERIFY`, and so on. A
restriction that applies specifically to OP_RETURN outputs is no
restriction at all.
