yeah, this consistency problem is one of the main weaknesses in the distributed architecture of nostr, and is shared in common with Lightning's protocol as well, they can tend towards such wide decentralization that you can't get all the things even if you go the full 12 guage shotgun with finely powdered salt load lol, if you get the analogy...
the solution, of course, is allowing users to have full control over their relays and make a built in protocol mechanism for relays to fan out requests, and that also requires SOME of the events to be deliberately blasted everywhere, relay lists, follow lists, mute lists, profile metadata, all of these, infrequently changed events need to be available everywhere, the rest, there is ways around it
