I think he wants to build his own walled garden subconsciously. He wants people to onboard to nostr and only ever use damus. He doesn't want to add a signer that makes it easy for people that use multiple apps because why do that when I only care about using my own app... Kind of like how people onboard to primal. They think nostr is just primal. He wants normies to feel the same way about damus. It's really antithetical to the whole point of nostr...

Probably the lesser of two evils now Google is locking down the OS

They are?
