There may already be a term for this that I'm unaware of, but I'm naming it anyway.

Long-term user bias.

Many long-term users adjust to poor UX/UI over time and begin to think no issues exist. This becomes an issue for software that is relatively new and growing because new users are smacked with a massive amount of poor UX/UI all at once (it's been growing over time). The long-term biased users don't see the issues because they've lived with them for so long and had the chance to adjust over time.

That's what I'm seeing with Nostr clients.

"My client works perfectly."

"It's easy. Just do this and that in that and add this relay for that and make sure these relays are that model."

"You're just addicted to Twitter, bro."

"Some people are lost and go back to their angry apps."

It may just be that UI/UX sucks ass here and most of us are too biased to see it.

I call it tunnel vision. This is exactly why we do user testing on a continuous basis.
