The theory of disruptive innovation (https://hbr.org/2015/12/what-is-disruptive-innovation) supports your position: "Disruptive innovations don’t catch on with mainstream customers until quality catches up to their standards"..

However, Nostr developers, myself included, may not prioritize fixing features in common with existing social media apps because implementing novel features is more rewarding as a creative pursuit.  Nobody is getting paid to improve "boring" features to reduce churn.

Personally, I'd much rather see Nostr clients continuing to evolve in weird and wacky ways, creating differentiation, before the focus on stability of features that already exist. It's like the early days of smartphones, before everything became a iPhone clone.
