The reason money movement, at least in my view, is critical to increasing usage is because people are too accustomed to having everything paid for on a rolling basis and being passive purchasers. Your last statement on payments is a hopeful outlook, but won't play out because most people don't and just won't care about "being a product" or supporting a hobbyist. There has to be an intrinsic and seamless shift towards changing that for a value and utility-based internet, yes, which comes from getting people to be directly involved in the transferring of money.
I do see infrastructure as a great way to get more people onboarded as well; I actually think Nostr should be primarily "marketed" towards product builders as a cheaper and more resilient architecture, rather than to media consumers as an uncensorable network. That also ties in with you utility and value driven point, with more builders bringing more utility and unlocking more value.
