It's mentioned in the "Uses" section, no?

This offers a way for users to broadcast bitcoin transactions in a private way without having to connect to the bitcoin
network directly.

Today, users have to connect to the bitcoin network directly or use an api like mempool.space to broadcast transactions.
This is not private, as you can leak your ip address to the service or a bitcoin node.

Nostr provides a better opportunity for users to broadcast transactions in a private way. Nostr relays are at most
bitcoin adjacent and have a much lower risk of being run by a chain analysis company, thus providing a possibly better
way to broadcast transactions.
