The first two premises are asserted without evidence.
Quality/stability is in constant tension with pace of innovation. Ensuring stability can slow innovation, while accelerating innovation can introduce more bugs. The constant in this equation is the number of available man-hours. Changing the size of the team changes the amount of man-hours you have to work with, but the stability vs. innovation tradeoff remains.
Optimal UX is not necessarily tied to a need for growth. Better UX is motivated by a concern for user satisfaction. Satisfying the users is how you retain them, whether the product is free or costly. Dissatisfied users will flee the product, even if is is FOSS.
I would contend that a concern for the communities and individuals who use Nostr should motivate us to build excellent software with an excellent UX, whether those people are paying us for it or not.
