I don't think you have to run 1000s of nodes to be decentralized. This is not a blockchain. It's decentralized in a sense that You or I can run a relay with running 2 lines of scripts or installing an app. And people can connect to it, or even if they don't you can use your relay as outbox and direct clients to read from it.

I think Nostr is not doomed because one client handles things differently. It's a tradeoff to run a cache relay that comes with some advantages like better search, filtering etc.

I do agree tho that people should do the work and learn the difference and why it matters to be in control of your relays. And we do have a bunch of clients with more features and native nostr behavior.
