I understand your point of view but:

They don't necessarily have to disallow it; we've learned that if they put a feature behind 3-4 buttons, daily users are unlikely to use it, much less write out an entire cryptic URL.

I mean you can call me a relay fanatic😅, IMO relays are a crucial component of nostr and we should strive to build everything around them. Diverse relay distribution should be by design.

It's hard to say whether the potential centralization of the platform is intentional, but there may be incentives to move in that direction.

Personally, I don't trust anyone and believe that decentralization is key to preserving user privacy and sovereignty, easy diverse selection of relays are essential for that . 🥂
