Yes, the refusal to create a good standard and agree to it, and the number of app developers who insist on an old dysfunctional NIP and the need for backwards compatibility creating massive technical debt.
This needs to be like cryptographic standards. People need to be able to agree that there is a specific way a feature is going to be done on Nostr, and that any clients which refuse to adhere to the standard and come up with a timeline for the phasing out of the support of the old standards need to be delisted from places like nostr.com/net/org/how — this shit is fucking atrocious for new users. 90% of the people I try to get on Nostr get confused and quit. Normal people do not need to be hearing the phrase “NIP” unless it is a slur against the Japanese.
