For me the fact that it's censorship-resistant is not the interesting point here, it's that it's decentralized.

It's not decentralized yet but only potentially decentralized if a lot of people run relays. Currently there are only about seven relays powering the whole network: https://nostr-registry.netlify.app/

Luckily, relays are very lightweight and easy to run so maybe it will eventually get decentralized.

And remember relays can be incentivized to host content by micropayments via Lightning network if needed.
