I can see this being a centralizing force if npubs clump together for a more popular or higher-status icon. It’s like a roster of checks and badges 🔰

Really enjoying the nip-05 timeline view put together by nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p and team in Ditto.pub.
It's a fresh timeline, and great to see a self-assembling/self-curating list of folk. Does not seem too difficult to implement from dev side either (i.e. only populate timeline with certain nip-05 domain).

Maybe.
I’d argue choice is good for the customer
I think a bigger threat we face atm is being so decentralized nobody is even friends.
