if relays provided http interface for html rendered notes, traditional search engines would be able to index nostr
however this also provides major legal risk for same reason
in theory there should be no legal difference whether some content is available through websocket or http, but in practice there is.
nobody wants to provide direct domain access to html rendered web content with questionable legal status
at the same time, it is much more okay to provide same content through websocket, where client has to use javascript or downloadable app to render it in same format as html would have done.
current implementation of nostr provides zero visibility on traditional http based search engines, which is a major bottleneck for nostr adoption
