I think a big part of it has to do with the fact that Jack is bullish on Bitcoin, which Nostr has fully embraced within their ecosystem. Also, the peer-to-peer architecture more or less ensures that no one can control the network more than anyone else.
I'm still leaning about Farcaster and what ideas it brings to the table specifically, but I don't think this has to be a zero-sum game between different projects.
