Read it. Agree with the general idea and I'm definitely not against corporate led initiatives. I think it's also misleading to associate nostr with the bazaar that is described there. Just like with the Linux kernel, there is strong protection of NIP-01 (and a few others) here. It is not up for grabs.
A major omission here is: protocols. We are talking about networks and network effects not products, as most of the examples he gives.
Regarding growth, I don't know where those numbers come from but I'm sure nostr has a way bigger brand than Pubky. It's simpler to understand, too. I perused Pubky docs and there is not a single hint on how to build anything. I'm also lost with so many brands: Holepunch, Pear stack, Keet, Synonym, Hypercore, Pubky, etc.
And John is a perfectionist. I understand because I am too. It has its good and bad sides. Specifically to bootstrap a network and get network effects a perfectionist approach does not help. Just to give two examples OSI was technically more perfect than TCP/IP, Betamax was technically more perfect than VHS - and they both lost. I'm focusing on building something great but NOT at the protocol level.
