you're trying to imply that publishing a confidential message unencrypted but with a preamble that says "do not read" is exactly the same as using signal because signal could technically ship a compromised apk to you and leak your message everything is social pressure and trust at some level you're pretending to ignore that the levels of trust required are distinct

It's not though. On Nostr I operate under the assumption that someone already has my nsec, we all should do that. Because it's entirely possible. I bet at least one person has my nsec right now, maybe a few people. I'd never know. Nostr really does rely on social pressure so why bother trying to be secret? But if I started again on Nostr and did only Frost and bunker and White Noise and all that, in that case it'd be different. That's still a really bad experience, so I'll wait. But the tech matters, you have to admit.
