As long as irresponsible relay owners continue to push for censorship, running a non-censored relay is suicidal.
The pro-censorship relays will inevitably attract the attention of regulators and State actors, because they are in fact not relays but publishers, and will be forced into submission and compliance, under threat of prosecution.
Their irresponsible actions and obsession with replicating centralized social media practices "for the good of
the protocol", "for adoption", "for common sense", etc., endangers everybody else and is the single worst point of failure of Nostr and what will effectively kill it, in time.
