Mainline DHT records are verified using ed curve instead of secp (nostr and btc).
This means I cannot sign a record pointing to my relay list using my nostr pubkey that is also verifiable on the DHT.
Bridging requires extra trust.
That extra trust might be good enough for communities as you mention, but it's not ideal and this could have been avoided.
