What's to stop the authorities from outlawing all relays except the censoring ones? When you are forced to use MEV-boost trough threat of penalties (up to 80% of your stake!), then even those of us that "fell" for the decentralised promise of RP will be forced to be complicit in censorship.
In the long term, we're still going to have to require some kind of relay for the sake of offering competitive rates and ensuring users don't steal their own MEV via running their own searcher. In the short term though, it's possible that we have a grace period on MEV-boost until the dust settles around all of this and we see more trustworthy relays pop up. Hopefully that's already in the works since Flashbots recently open sourced their relay code: https://github.com/flashbots/mev-boost-relay
