Yes, looks like we agree mostly.
I think people prioritise the things that matter to them in a way that's quite efficient. The key is that what matters to them is often not what's good for them, but that's a whole other story.
Where we diverge is that I think the reminding them to eat their broccoli part is hopeless. That never works.
In Japan people walk a lot because they have to. Cities are designed to force people to walk. It's not a decision anymore, and therefore trying to influence that decision with this motivational speech or that grumpy diatribe is irrelevant, you don't have to waste time and energy doing so.
Nostr 1.0 is designed like a US city. Walking is highly optional, and in many ways discouraged. Therefore all you've got is motivational speeches or grumpy diatribes. And, just like in a US city, the few people that do walk a lot each day are very show-offy and righteous about it. Because it's something that makes them stand out, and when you have something that makes you stand out you tend to want to show it off. I mean imagine a Japanese city-dweller being righteous about walking a lot each day.
