If you can build a performant client that connects to 400+ relays when trying to load your following feed I’ll build a nostr church in your name.

I don't want a church, I want an explanation on why you think that is so absurd. The amount of data you'll download is the same and will depend on how many people you follow and what you have cached locally. Each new TCP connection is cheap. What am I missing?

It’s not about data. There are browser, OS (open files), and mobile per-app limitations that prevent opening an unlimited amount of websockets. Even in a perfect nostr world with only reliable high performance relays you will start to bump in to these limits in most places as you exceed 200-300.
As we do not live in this perfect world, I suspect the practical challenges of managing hundreds of different connection and response times with varying reliability in a performant way with an acceptable UX will not be trivial either.

The point you’re missing is that these are pessimists who spend their energy trying to prove that nothing can be done.
