Farcaster management team says:

We're focused on user growth and the best way to do that is make onboarding as web2 as possible—mobile and no wallet or crypto required. If you think this is dumb or "anti-crypto", you're free to a build a Farcaster client that is web-only and uses crypto for payments.

The Farcaster management team's approach of prioritizing user growth by simplifying onboarding and making it as web2-friendly as possible is a strategic decision aimed at lowering barriers to entry and expanding the platform's user base.
