It’s because they are using a radically different model than other clients. It does not connect to multiple relays, it connects to their one custom caching server which isn’t a nostr relay. So if it goes down the whole app goes down. Brittle and takes away user agency on what relays the user can connect to.
Hopefully primal 2.0 switches to a model which is less brittle and more like a normal nostr client.
