Nostr is not simple, it is incomplete.

Im not a hardcore Bitcoiner so Im not familiar with the work you have done there. IMO you also cannot compare bitcoin with nostr in any way.
As for the defimition. Simple if something different than simplicity. And incomplete yes, that’s true but to me that irrelevant regarding the complexitiy / simplicity of the protocol.
You cant complete the system without making it more complex.
Optimizing for "build an app in a weekend" is actually worthless if it is broken.
Im more of the approach where you need things more complex before you can simplify it. Same as you only can write a short letter by writing the long variant first.
And for completing things, it just need to be complete enough to get things working. If things are broken, we need more completion perhaps. This adds complicity. If things are working again, we can simplify. Till things are starting to break again ;)
* complexity (not complicity lol, Im starting to hussle things up)
