I see what you mean now. I agree with that it's the most interoperable solution, but I am not sure it would work in practice. Imo there is nothing wrong in clients monetizing with features that aren't interoperable on other clients. How the hell are they going to monetize otherwise? I think primal (nprofile…mdf3) is doing a pretty good job in this area that more should take as inspiration.

Yes, I see npub.world as a marketing expense for Vertex.
> If monetization is predicated on bundling, then small apps are out of luck, right?
Depends how small, and more importantly how useful. If they do one thing much better than anyone else, and the problem they are solving is painful enough, people would pay. But how so is a good question.
