 Won't relays need tonnes of compute/storage resources to process millions of users at some point?  
 Yes, but it will be distributed very thinly and mostly be consuming currently idle resources. Also, each relay is it's own separate, slightly-overlapping dataset. No relay needs to contain lots of events. There's actually no point to that, once you have outboxes, communities, performant search, and deep-discovery.

Centralized relays is old tech, basically.
