The neat thing is you don't have any relationship (permission’d or otherwise) with the image DVMs. Someone could come out with a new one tomorrow and you immediately get to use that. APIs will still need to exist, DVMs are like little workers waiting to jump on any task you throw out into the Nostr ether.

Very true and it is my favorite part about DVMs, honestly. Google sign-ins, emails and passwords are a nuisance nowadays. Beyond a nuisance, a liability. Hacks, data leaks and de-platforming are a very real possibility with any new service sign-up. The network effects of nostr and DVMs are not yet realized. While there are only like 3 DVMs that reliably do image generation, there will be more to come. Whereas to test new APIs, each service is a new sign-up, another credit card link, and new programming documentation to learn. Still optimistic!
