I think I get your feeling, but I wasn't speaking against that.
My point is more that every person is the market and every action changes the market direction to some degree, so no one can really "just follow", you have to make the market.
Allow my autism to stretch this a bit further in regard to the phrasing we are using.
I understand from your phrasing that while you can supply what the market demands, you can't not take the word of the market on how to actually make it. This is a well known effect, traditionally illustrated by the Simpsons episode Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?.
But I would like to separate that from the demand itself. To "follow the market" is to hear and answer the overall demand of the people. That was my case: I was looking for something like Nostr and I was more than happy to find it. You saw the need and you provided a solution. Now if I demand that I want to be able to edit "tweets", you know that I actually don't want to, that what I want is a communication system that's not a walled garden. A similar effect happened to me when I was looking for note taking apps: I was looking for an app full of features I thought I needed, and when I found the apps that provided it, the experience ended up being a bloated, laggy, cluttered and unwieldy mess, and I found out that I was way better off with plain txt notes. Then I understood that I did not needed anything of what I thought I needed, and reasoned better my way towards obsidian and it ended up being absolute gold and never looked back: I did not needed complex mind-mapping graphs and integrations and etc. My overall demand was "I need a note-taking tool", but I didn't knew I only needed my file structure in the left, my content structure in the right, and my outlines in the middle, to get it. Simple, efficient. I vow for core Nostr to be the same.
