Nostr relays are web servers. The only reason they work is because they are web servers. Most are written from scratch, which means that 99% of the features of the web are not implemented. Reversing that, it means that relays can have 100x more features, that have been developed over the last decades. Once you realize the relays are just web servers, there's no nostr "winning" or "losing", the web has already won. We're just making it better.
