Couldn’t agree more. I jokingly say this PR never getting merged killed Mutiny but it also killed our NWC Service.
We wanted to be able to request invoices from our customers when their subscriptions were due directly from their wallet but without the annoying onboarding steps of NWC. With NWA, we simply showed the user a QR code on our website that they could scan with their wallet. One step, very clean.
Alby proposed a new version but it does not meet our requirements and they are unwilling to change it - I suspect it will die as well.
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1818 The death of Nostr Wallet Auth is a tragedy, can we bring it back?
Mutiny had taken NWC and made it the best way to do "pull" style bitcoin payments for subscriptions and other things.
Reading through the NIP proposal where benthecarman (npub1u8l…turz) tried to share this nice bit of UX with the nostr community was a trip down open source spec hell and it has ended in it withering on the vine.

Their blog post about it here

Everyone expects pull when they pay. An entire industry of SaaS apps is built on users putting in their cc info and forgetting about it for months. We need the same if bitcoin payments will be a thing.
