Why include it? Because the arbitrary data is subjectively valuable to me.
Whether it is “essential” is a matter of subjective value. Do you believe in subjective value?

You give two examples of arbitrary data but omit the most important third option: you are sending me 100 Bitcoin (thank you btw) because you want to send me 100 Bitcoin. You also want to include arbitrary data. Both are essential to you.

Is that a monetary transaction?
