Although Nostr is designed to be decentralized, if a few relays become more popular or widely used, they can create central points of failure. This could happen due to better performance, reliability, or trustworthiness of certain relays
If these popular relays are attacked, compromised, or taken offline, it could significantly impact the network's usability, even though the protocol is decentralized.
So Samon's idea makes sense.
