Don't confuse Protocols with Clients.

Bitcoin is a protocol, Wallets are clients.

Nostr is a protocol, Primal/Damus are clients.

clients don't need to be open, or honest, or benign.

Because open protocols allow for users to move with their data/id to other clients.

Don't like a wallet, move your seed.

Don't like a client, move your nsec.

Bitching at clients is a waste of time.

Build the competing clients is a lot more productive.

Clients, and especially wallets, must be safe. And in order to be safe it's better if they are open source

You can't enforce your preferences onto others in a truly open protocol. So our opinion doesn't mater.
