Is it?
What are the reasonable expectations that it's falling short of?

It's actually advancing much faster than I thought it would for what it is. I'm surprised something like yakihonne is a reality this year. I did not expected something similar up until 2 years from now, I actually had that number in mind as a good thing. It's a massive endeavour still in its infancy and already showing what's capable off, I'm fully bullish on Nostr.

Up to date there's only one client that's stable and it's Yakihonne. Any other one I tried (habla.news, primal, higlighter, coracle, etc etc) were straight up unusable, and I mean that I dedicated a lot of effort an patient hours to each and it was impossible to get started. Yakihonne was refreshing, it works as it should, no kirks, no glitches, no uncomfortable workflow, no humps. It's really well done.
But even after finding a proper client the second problem was the wallet. It took me days to settle with one that integrated with Nostr and wasn't a pain to get started with.
All in all it took me weeks to get started with Nostr. And I did it because I really want it to work. But that's simply a calamity of a user experience, specially since the mass of new users don't even know what's bitcoin to start. Thus, it does ends up being a bitcoin maxis niche. I think that it will of course evolve and become the web of the people, but as of now that's the current situation.

It’s just early. It’s only struggling to keep up with over promises of influencers (and devs that want to be/appeal to influencers).

It feels like a private network of bitcoiners only, maybe that’s why.

Not enough content. Nostr is a cool, interesting idea, but currently only consists of bitcoin memes and hopium. It's not fleshed out at this point (unlike SN which is cool)

It's essentially the cult of bitcoin.

I really like the concept of Nostr and I hope it succeeds but for me engagement and zaps have fallen right off a cliff. I post notes and I feel like I’m just throwing them into a void. That’s why I’ve moved almost entirely over to SN. I actually get feedback and zaps here for my effort.

Is it, though?
If the technicalities involved in "registering" and maintaining your account are a filter that keeps the most moronic X users out of Nostr, that's a feature.

It's fine. If Svetski wants a polished finished product he should stick with Twitter. If he wants freedom then he should use nostr, warts and all, and lower his time preference.

I think it’s still extremely buggy. Damus has issues. Primal desktop has issues plus most people don’t care. Content is king. Why use nostr (in social media context) when you have much better content on other social media platforms
