No I don’t really care. I have a primal lightning wallet set up, to do that I had to put in my email etc.. if I cared I wouldn’t have. Just wanted to know, since it’s ironic that people go around saying how Nostr is so free-speech oriented and privacy-respecting, and sure whilst better than its peers, it’s still got these “points of failure”.

Who says Nostr has anything to do with privacy?
It's quite the opposite, nearly everything is very public, and available for anyone to data-scrape.
If you didn't you never would have taken the time to write the note. Nostr & how you get your sats are two different things one does not matter against or with the other. The other way to get sats or purchase bitcoin is with cash. Theres the https://bisq.network/ which is a site to search for traders around where you live. You give them cash they give you bits right on the spot. Skeptical sure meeting a stranger online but the traders who give the sats for your cash are mostly rich people.
The likelyhood of a trader scamming you is minimal because then their rep on bisq would be ruined & they would be an outcast.
Have you tried Bisq? I'm glad it exists, but I haven't had the guts to try it yet.
I guess this is somewhat similar to Robosats. Sellers have to put up a bond that's held until the sale is successfully completed. If the seller takes the money and doesn't deliver the sats, their bond is transferred to the buyer to cover the money they sent.
