certainly,

someone somehow has to operate relays. The cost of operating relays must be settled somehow (i.e., paid relays)

If the relay operator were to use a non-censorship-resistant money + payment rail, the funding of that relay is *subject* to the approval of whoever can censor that money or those transactions.

Say a relay operator were to take USDC as payment: the US government could instantly shutdown that relay by knocking on the issuer of USDC and blocking those funds.
