I don't think most devs are tuned to that frequency, really. It just happens that for now Nostr is a tiny group of very like-minded people with very similar opinions. And the Nostr dev in-group is even smaller and more homogeneous. So some things are assumed to be "good" and transparency-worthy, while others aren't and the algo is being applied like it or not.

A banal and anecdotal example: the Nostur iOS client automatically adds a shit emoticon when anyone mentions any cryptoasset that is not Bitcoin. Can't toggle it off, as far as I know. The basically unanimous opinion is that it's very funny. So, like it or not, you eat it up, or stop using Nostur.

It'll be like that with a lot other stuff.
