I am arguing for the decoupling, but not as a novelty, we have a history of Internet and web architecture to support this decoupling as an important principle. Nostr ignored that because it was designed to serve one purpose (social media) where highly contextualised posts are the norm.

Of course now the revision of "nostr is for the other stuff and fix the web" is here because the social media usecase stalled, but here is where i come to be annoying and say no stop, the mess that was made while assuming social media, doesn't fit when you are trying to fix the web.

If you want to fix the web, you should fix DNS, because that is the only minimal layer that actually can be decentralised at scale, and is sufficient for all small world applications.

Anyways I don't think we have disagreements. I just wanted to defend DHTs honor from even more misunderstandings, not by you, but by people who would have read your posts and took them at face value.
