I think Nostr was created to be censorship-resistant. That is to say, no matter how much a relay or client may choose to censor content, users are not limited by those censorship choices. Even if all relays and/or all clients chose to censor particular content, anyone is free to spin up their own relay and/or client instances to circumvent those censorship choices of others.
i.e. I think Nostr was created to render the value judgement of censorship moot.

Yes, anyone CAN spin up their own relay, but do we really want to make that our freedom of speech proposition?
"Hey folks, Nostr is great--but you have to spin up your own relay to make it work if you don't want to be censored"
One of our greatest (current) problems is easy of use...I'd say going down the "spin up your own relay" isn't really our best answer...
