I feel this is spot on. And this idea that people can be using Nostr without knowing they're using Nostr, that would imply that they're not aware of relays (at the very least) and Nostr identity, and other parts you'd imagine they should be aware of for the choice of Nostr as the backend for whatever they're doing to be a good choice. Otherwise that backend could have just been a regular old VM server, or a lamda function, or whatever.

I mean I guess you can explain all those key parts without using the word Nostr, but still if you're not explaining them *somehow* then what's going on? It's like giving the user a stick shift car to drive and then automating the stick so it shifts itself. Then just give then an automatic!

Funnily enough that is a transmission type nowadays: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_manual_transmission

Oh perfect, from now on I'm referencing that wikipedia page any time someone suggests that Nostr clients should abstract away relays.
