But your presumption is they don't understand nostr or what is happening here, right? That there is some sort of wide ignorance?
That ignores everything I stated in the post, I think?
Sure, what you described can be a factor, but I think you are describing what *Nostr people* think about others, and that is more about Nostr egos imo -- not an actual common or likely reason, just a projection as a convenient guess.

I’m not saying those are the only factors. There’s the adoption curve and a million other factors - of which I’m sure some are being displeased with the technical aspects. If I had to but I’d say adoption curve, network effects, peer signaling, some ego)
If they build something better - great 👍 let everyone know.

I am defending the thread topic, as always.
Surely you noticed I come to socials to posit arguments :)
