 Yes but then the websocket API and Nostr events are nothing but deliberately giving up on the rich history of HTTP apis just because people don't think clearly and bundle data storage, finding that data storage, and global sync in the same universal API.

This is just waste. We knew how to build client-server apis before nostr, and JSON over websocket is clearly inferior and limiting compared to HTTP verbs, headers and semantics. 
 Oh sorry, didn't see this yet:
