You seem to be something of a volunteerist (quick impression; sorry if off base). Explain to me how witnesses are supposed to be compelled to process transactions they consider to be harmful. The blockchain censorship resistance comes from the dynamic nature of witnesses and the ability of other witnesses to be voted in, which can absolutely happen at this moment.

I would agree with you more if witnesses were interfering with any legitimately voting stake, including, especially, the stake voting them in (say, blocking transactions that remove their own received votes). That would represent a true failure of DPoS and of the blockchain. It is also not happening.
