You're re-writing history.
The initial set of developers were all Bitcoin developers.
The initial set of developers were all Bitcoin developers.
And curious enough, they kept it financially agnostic. How am I “rewriting history”?

losing it’s identity
this explicitly makes Nostr into a bitcoin network now
big feature of Nostr was that it was not tied
You're implying that the devs didn't have this baked into their vision since Day 1, and that the direction is somehow new, or a pivot.
Go take a peek at the tweets, and nostr notes circa late 2021, and the libraries used in Nostr's encryption.
I would argue if they didn't follow through with eventually merging NIP-57, then Nostr would be losing it's identity.

It absolutely was not baked into the vision. Otherwise it would have been part of the protocol.
One of the core value drivers that set Nostr apart was the fact that it was not tied to any specific financial system.
