The Shocknet team's Lightning.Pub is a good example - they don't like Bolt12, or at least, they don't like the onion messaging it uses, and openly state this as the reason for pursuing the Nostr based approach they're taking -

I don't have the chops to credibly assess their claims, but appreciate the work being done will ultimately help push things forward.
