Depends if you mean a read-restricted relay you run or one that you don't.
In both cases though, it's different because anyone with access to this read-restricted relay can copy the notes, and those notes are cryptographically linked to you, and depending on who you are you might not want that. (And in various other ways too.)
You might want the cryptographic link to be between you and your space, as opposed to between you and your notes.

Ah, I see. But I would have to give up the atomization of the notes to achieve that.
if you want that you can just have a relay that signs notes with random keys
anyone reading from that will know they are from you, but the signatures will not mean anything
thinking about it, no one is really going to run their own homeserver, so they will be essentially delegating full power over their identity to some vibecoded malicious provider
"but they just change their pkarr and retract everything"
then in this world nothing anyone ever says can be trusted to really come from them
