Yup. But also fun to imagine if nostr was text-only from the start, and the whole nostr culture developed around this. Feels like the internet is at a time where text-only plus decentralisation could combine to make an actually pretty good marketing pitch.

I think people just wouldn't use it tbh. There's a reason the 1st gen of decentralized protocols were abandoned in favor of Web2.

Sure, but Harry Potter is pure words, and a lot of people read them books. Books haven't died. Humans like pure words. There's a huge market for pure words. The problem is the day you make it possible to add an image is the day you end any chance of a pure-word culture emerging—and without that culture then you're right, nobody would want it.
