The relay is primarily important for the group creator, that should be aware of what he is picking up, or what he decides to self host. Final users just want to focus on the content.
Here we are talking about a specific use case for NIP-29: create a personal and branded community.
If I join my hamster group, I don't care to see a dropdown with random servers or rooms about other topics, I just want to focus on my little friends.
The only server I want to see is the group's one, that in the best case should match the website and so the related NIP-29 client.
The current state of Chachi / Flotilla is more like a IRC client, it's absolutely fine for many users and needs, but it's conceptually a totally different tool.
The good news is that with very little additional effort, the clients we are talking about can serve both solutions.
