Relays can track IPs. This does not mean they are not decentralized. Use a VPN and/or Orbot/Tor. I agree with nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240, we need to advertise the onion and dns addresses of relays and have and normalize relay setups that use onion and Tor by default.
Distributed isn’t decentralized. The only reason this is debated is because nostr hasn’t faced any real attacks yet.
You seem to be saying that the solution for average folks is to understand onion routing and use VPNs. That seems unlikely and impractical. For average folks, if it’s not safe by default then it’s not safe at all.
Im pretty regarded and even I can use a VPN and Orbot/Tor. Heck I can even use Tails and TOR.
But yes Nostr should be more secure by design. More to the standards of #Monero which is so secure and easy that my Grandmother can use it and be safe.
