The reason is that there is too much stuff to work on.

Discovery is the main reason people seem to churn. Worth prioritizing it.
Doesn't the slowness of loading from relays also play a role?
What slowness?
1️⃣ Loading of quoted events.
2️⃣ Loading of profile names.
3️⃣ Loading of comments
( Loading of media.
-> Hmm, this could be my problem of using Tor. But somehow people will attribute this to the client if they load slow, or?)
Also how does the user know if all data was loaded for his thread?
I know that we can only check connected relays, so we don't know if really we have all the data. But it would be nice to know if my post was loaded fully from my relays or it is still searching? Maybe it would be a better UI.
Centralized platforms are slow to load stuff too many times. Nostr threads generally load basically instantly to me, but sometimes there may be some slowness here and there.
In other words: you may be right, but I don't see it as a big problem.
Yes, but this is one of those dull, defining things, like getting replies right, that makes the entire protocol more valuable.
