Just because a lot of Bitcoiners have joined Nostr does not mean that is the main selling point. One could (and several do) also argue that Bitcoiners are ruining Nostr.
Also, just because Nostr has a large population of Bitcoiners does not necessarily mean that zaps/Bitcoin are why they chose Nostr. To find that out would require a poll with a significant percentage of responders.
Also, even if we accept the idea that Nostr isn't very decentralized now, due to a small amount of relays, that doesn't mean that people didn't join Nostr for the reason of decentralization. Many have, and regularly state that as the reason they are here.
You were relating "dating a shitcoiner" as the equvalent to "ruining Nostr", but you were not referring to Nostr adoption? Does that mean you're inferring that existing npubs are going to quit the protocol based on who Will dates?
If you dislike Will so much, what value is there in focusing on him? What good does that bring? Or are into some "lack of value for lack of value" shitcoin paradigm?
