 NIP-59 seems to do a good job at hiding metadata from public view but it doesn't provide

- break-in recovery.
- repudiation (deniability).
- (lack of) visibility of connection graph to observers.
- fixed message sizes (although it can be provided by the specific app)
- resistance to Shore algorithm (PQ encryption).

I can add that it definitely doesn't provide forward secrecy.

It's concerning that these developers simply don't seem qualified to properly implement secure messaging, and I believe users are being put at risk, although I do see a lot of people just putting nostr:nprofile1qqsvnx99ww0sfall7gpv2jtz4ftc9v6wevgdd7g4hh7awkpfvwlezugpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvuhsg5cway addresses in their profile anyway.
