Identity is the main disadvantage of Nostr, around which bunkers and NIPs have already been built. I have no doubt that the protocol will still face scandals with compromise of hundreds of thousands of accounts and a standard password change will not help in the case of Nostr. Most relays don't even support authorization. And if everyone starts, privacy and anonymity will quickly wither away.

FOSS? Look at the Apache graveyard, did FOSS help them much? FOSS is a standard practice, not a unique feature. FOSS by itself does not guarantee protection against cheesy code, abandoned development and conflicts.

Relays do allow you to host anything, but there have been a million such networks over 60 years. The only difference with relays is that they use JSON and negentropy.

Zap is a useless toy with no guarantee of payment. Maybe if Zap is not used for Lightning but for something else it will be useful.
