I don't think it's fantasy at all. Node package managers could easily have offered receiving capable NWC software (when they cannot do it for lnurl).

Wallets could have implemented the ability to pay to nprofiles directly.

Even mobile wallets (such as mutiny) can ran builtin NWC for sending (so why not for receiving).

Would it take more time? Yes. But doing things in the name of fast adoption is my definition of rushing it.

It’s only because of Zaps being demonstrated in practice that there was enough excitement and momentum for building other better tooling and for people to spend the extra time to try more complex setup.

Hindsight forgets the state of mind of people back then.

I recognize there was a demand for social micro tipping. Just disagree on the approach.

This is not just hindsight, check the initial discussions and contemporary proposals.

Even with hindsight, it's still important to reflect back on what could have been better.
