I didn't mention users, stop assuming clients must cater to users - it's a dev curating the experience. You don't like it - leave, that's not censorship. The information is accessible elsewhere in the pure form you seek and is directly accessible should you care to run your own relay. That client has a red flag for you but that doesn't give you a bit of authority to dictate to devs how they MUST present information they receive from the network.
You don't like that the library may have added checkout slots to the books because it alters the effective published artifact. Go to a different library if it bothers you so much.
