Sure. But that isn’t the case for everyone. The incentive in bitcoin is (1) accumulate wealth (mine/buy) and (2) protect wealth (run a node). The rules are defined. The execution of the protocol predictable. The incentives for participants are (nearly) perfect and are (truly) synergistic.

“Protecting” freedom of speech isn’t really defined nor is it measurable nor is it predictable. Protect speech against who? Protect what type of speech? Who is delivering the speech? What’s the reach of the speech? What the truth factor of the speech? What’s the novelty of the speech? What’s the timing of the speech? Where is the physical location of the speech?

Who profits from posting/hosting the speech? What determines how much they are compensated for the speech? Can the hosts or the posters predict their value flows?

NOSTR is by far a less effective protocol vs. bitcoin. Worse protocol but still important. Speaks more to the perfection of Bitcoin vs. a strong criticism of NOSTR.

Bitcoin is a protocol that fixes the world by aligning participants’ financial incentives to increase productivity in energy & computing.

NOSTR is a decentralized protocol that enables free speech. But who gets paid and how still has to be figured out by centralized (even if they’re benevolent) actors.
