Remember to consider incentives:
Client devs who do not run relays have a _direct incentive_ to get rid of relays or force you to use specific relays, and thereby completely lock you, and your data, into their client. The whole point of relays is that they are client-agnostic event servers, that allow for portability of data.
Has anyone tried to do this?

Yes. There have been numerous pushes to get rid of relays and replace them with client databases, DVMs, and now some mysterious thing that prevents spam.
Those terms made things click.
