One thing to take into account, is that protocols compete; so eventhough on the surface it might make sense that these are groups of people that would be a prime fit to learn about Nostr, that may as well be the exact reason they won't be a receptive audience at all. After all, its a threat to their vested (in whatever way) interest.
There are other factors compounding on top of this, some perhaps a bit petty and/or dishonest, but human non the less.
Case in point is the lefty protocol civil war going on beneath the surface where ActivityPub/fediverse people have absolute distain for ATproto; i have encountered this a bunch of times already.
And those interests are real: the EU in a concrete sense has started to pump money into the 'space', and thusfar it has been biased towards ActivityPub, and they try to keep ATproto out the door arguing its just another American topdown big-bag-of-money-funded phenomena, which atleast from a narative angle works because a lot of this is centered around becomming independent from US 'big-tech' to begin with.
I am glad you are there, perhaps I/we should have been there, but i do wonder whether it is actually fruitfull. But, at the very least, and this has been frustrating/disappointing to me, is that Nostr is often not even part of the discussion, or a consideration; far to often because they have not even heard of it in the first place.

Protocols competing is key, many groups prioritize dogma over truth, blind to Nostr's potential.
