it's just to limit how many indexes the relay's event store has to make to max 52 different kinds of tag keys, these are required to enable search, if you don't index them the only way to search is to exhaustively iterate through the records which would be insanely slow, but if you let any tag key be required to be indexed the database is again going to be very slow
fiatjaf added this because he knows about database indexes, his code in the eventstore repo is quite extensive and actually even has a little bit of documentation
