Your “core protocol” distinction is a bogus argument: can it be done, or can it not?
If you look at it that way barely anything on Nostr is core protocol.

Exactly, yes! Nostr is an incredibly light protocol, so when we say what "nostr" can do we have to be careful. Most things attributed to Nostr are not in fact attributable to Nostr at all.
So no, my example cannot be done using "Nostr". It can be done in the same way a chrome extension can translate a webpage, as in that is not something we can attribute to the webpage itself.
Does this mean Nostr is barely anything? No. It's still something. Nostr is websockets and not QUIC, Nostr is k1 curve and not ed curve, and so on. There's a long enough list. But the attribution "nostr" gets for non-Nostr things is pretty wild.
