My argument is that it is much harder for individuals working alone to build with the level of quality that will keep users consistently happy than it is for teams to do so. We talk a lot about user retention and adoption, then ask everyone to accept unstable software. That's fine, if all the expected users are hobbyists who run Linux and can tinker with configuration and code. However, Nostr is never going to appeal to the non-hobbyist types while it is still unstable and finding itself.
