I disagree. I remember when no client showed long-form content. We implemented it blending the new post into the feed and, it took some time, but others followed. Same for custom emojis, etc. If there is use, it helps people prioritize them. If there is no use, then no one needs to worry about it :)

Only if everyone switches to the new kind, kind 1's are here to stay, and deletions will only get implemented if people care about them (side note, next release will have some deletion support).
popular clients will direct changes and dumb changes like this will damage the client and nostr siloing content in new kinds is antithetical to what makes nostr successful already we have an unnecessary divide of kind1 and kind42 amethyst is not improving but getting worse now many are calling for features that are not being done like better filters and views, reddit view for example, antispam filters
