some relays only allow posts by users with nip-05 as a spam deterrence mechanism. I suspect it is a minority of nostr users who are not
a) using some webshit hosted client that has a backend doing nip-05 for them or
b) already have a server that they can statically host a json file from to do the same thing themselves, trivially.
The nip-05 spec is thoughtfully designed to allow people to do the latter, with little trouble especially if you are a developer type, or even just a self-hosting blogger and I would argue that it is more in keeping with the spirit of the thing, rather than centralization around a **brand** as certain, further up the reply chain, individuals are promoting.
