That's in-line with my general criticism of Nostr. It's a very simple protocol that imposes too little structure on downstream software so you get a kind of impedance mismatch (so to speak) at the messaging layer. There's not a lot provided for ensuring reliable delivery so the strategy will evolve to just broadcast to as many relays as possible and accept the duplicated effort (which will have to be paid for by somebody). It also doesn't have a good story with regard to identity management and key compromise. It's neat and useful for some applications but people think it's some amazing new advancement when it's not. Its something very simple that we could have easily invented in the 90s, but we didn't because it's kinda a shaky architecture to build applications on top of. It's too simple.

Indeed, too many people think Nostr will somehow magically solve everything... I think of it just like RSS on steroids - which is why I even mentioned it in this thread.
