Allow my autism to stretch this a bit further in regard to the phrasing we are using.
I understand from your phrasing that while you can supply what the market demands, you can't not take the word of the market on how to actually make it. This is a well known effect, traditionally illustrated by the Simpsons episode Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?.
But I would like to separate that from the demand itself. To "follow the market" is to hear and answer the overall demand of the people. That was my case: I was looking for something like Nostr and I was more than happy to find it. You saw the need and you provided a solution. Now if I demand that I want to be able to edit "tweets", you know that I actually don't want to, that what I want is a communication system that's not a walled garden. A similar effect happened to me when I was looking for note taking apps: I was looking for an app full of features I thought I needed, and when I found the apps that provided it, the experience ended up being a bloated, laggy, cluttered and unwieldy mess, and I found out that I was way better off with plain txt notes. Then I understood that I did not needed anything of what I thought I needed, and reasoned better my way towards obsidian and it ended up being absolute gold and never looked back: I did not needed complex mind-mapping graphs and integrations and etc. My overall demand was "I need a note-taking tool", but I didn't knew I only needed my file structure in the left, my content structure in the right, and my outlines in the middle, to get it. Simple, efficient. I vow for core Nostr to be the same.
