The first enemy is the connected iron full of proprietary firmware... The second one the OS, except for FLOSS ones, unfortunately "modern" devs tend to forget about the real "base" of their software.
Then there is a reachability problem, IMVHO while not that enthusiast Radicle offer a better "decentralized GitHub" than ngit+Forgejo etc, especially offer more spread replications who actually are simply not much there on Nostr since any client choose where to post instead of spreading data via DHTs and alike.
The biggest part though is getting some featuresfull clients, complete enough to attract users. Many FLOSS projects have a website, so a domain name, so some servers, they do not live on GitHub or someone else server, but they not switch toolchain if they do not find something easy and complete enough, even if their devs are not generic CL/UL (BOFH tails) they do not feel much the need to change if not for something easy and powerful. Actually Nostr is well, weak on client side, there are many, not much alive, not much complete, without much features... Sure, it's easy just to say, but...
