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.

At the same time, there are standards. Client Devs drive these standards and ultimately spec out the protocol to suit them.

Being critical of clients still have their uses.

These standards are the protocol.
