Nostr is better as an API than as a protocol. It might end up as either. If it's an API it doesnt need to scale, because it inherits scale from http. So you use the API and are happy. I think that's where it will end up, but it could go either way. Both are good outcomes.

Doesn’t an API mean that some entity is providing the service? Or maybe I have the wrong understanding here.

You are correct, I defined it loosely, or didnt define it. But it's more of an analogy. API being a tool that you use, one of many. Rather than the main system on which you build. If that makes any sense!
