This goes back to users having to control their relays. I shouldn’t be surprised by a relay I paid for requiring auth.
Also - how is there surveillance risk with AUTH beyond all of your posts being completely discoverable? Relays already know every IP of every client and patterns of REQs for ‘me’ vs everything else are easily discernible.

If you wanted better privacy then you’d want to only talk to a couple relays you trusted and you’d want them to only accept auth’d clients.
