Nostr supports delete as a core and fundamental part of the protocol. You can also pre-schedule the deletes with expiration tags. I’m not sure why people keep hallucinating how Nostr works.
Also even if Nostr didn’t support delete it wouldn’t stop these kinds of hacks / scams. Instead it would make them worse.
The reality is Nostr has a bigger hacked / highjacked account issue than centralized platforms because once the key is leaked there is no recovery mechanism.
