Right, but that doesn't mean the protocol isn't federated

yes but it makes federation pointless.

So just because someone else isn't running a relay now while they figure out how to make them less costly to run, it's pointless for the protocol to be partially federated already and support further federation?

its centrally controlled that makes it pointless. if BitTorrent was centrally controlled that would also make it pointless. it does not matter what the protocol can do if a central point can control who can use it.
