His point is a different one. Lets just frame this entire thing in the context of email, that way we can see how its both basically a non-issue and how Nostr is actually superior.
People pick an email provider dont they? They dont seem to have much trouble picking one, there are plenty of options. Sure you could run your own, but basically no-one does. We can therefor conclude for email to work, running your own email server is not a requirement (fiatjafs point, but with relays).
Now add on top that switching relays is fairly trivial while switching email provider is not, and we are actually in a better world than that currently exists out there.
