Your nsec can roleplay as the privatekey of a bitcoin wallet. Some devs want to use this so that you can send and receive money ("on-chain zaps") without having to jump through any wallet setup hoops. There's issues with this for privacy, security, and a multitude of other reasons. The idea is okay in principle and similar to nutzaps, but the forever footprint of this "solution" and the 2nd and 3rd order implications of forcing users to deal with onchain shenanigans is problematic, to put it mildly.
