It's a cool protocol, and decentralization is an important tool to have available - for certain business models, for anonymity/security/privacy, etc. Nostr makes developing resilient, censorship resistant kinds of applications and services so much easier than the current web. But for most *users* the underlying protocol is secondary to the service offering. Is there a Nostr equivalent of Fiverr? Amazon? EBay?

Maybe. But the easy way for centralized web platforms (Fiverr/Ebay/Amazon) to compete against decentralized Nostr services right now woukd be to simply accept BTC as payment. Likewise zaps, Lightning & BTC seem to be the main drivers of Nostr user adoption for the time being just as, once upon a time, "graphic images" (ahem) drove HTTP adoption.
