It’s not about data. There are browser, OS (open files), and mobile per-app limitations that prevent opening an unlimited amount of websockets. Even in a perfect nostr world with only reliable high performance relays you will start to bump in to these limits in most places as you exceed 200-300.
As we do not live in this perfect world, I suspect the practical challenges of managing hundreds of different connection and response times with varying reliability in a performant way with an acceptable UX will not be trivial either.
