A valid concern that I see just being hand waved away usually.

Not having any way to recover or transfer identity is a major downside of Nostr.

Yeah, I really hope that it's possible to solve this. I really envision a feature where I can trust my WOT everywhere (filter online reviews, can i buy from this guy p2p, general recommendations, health tips, p2p research, loans etc.) It could unlock so much. But all this won't work if you can loose it all with one single compromised app. In this case a social network for us nerds is all we can get.
This is why I only use apps that let me use a signing app, no nsec pasting. At least the attack surface is lessened that way.
