 Even mastodon lets me put my #pubky in my profile.  Wen Nostr?

 you dont need permission to add this field to your nostr profile.  you should see the crazy shit in profiles these days, its just json. 
 it's stringified json even lol

and yes, generally no impediment to changing it, most codecs will swallow whatever you can un-escape out of the content field, so long as it has the main fields in it

relays don't even look at what's inside the content field at all for any reason, only the tags, and only the single letter prefixed ones are indexed

changing the rest of the structure of an event is probably gonna break stuff though, but honestly, for what reason would you do this? and profiles don't even use tag fields necessarily, though often clients will populate them with any hashtags in the "about" field 
 unlike mastodon, or BS, or FC, you don't need to ask someone to implement it in your client

btw is it you who came up with this idiotic name "pubky"?

did you consider that maybe you are just being obstructed by a problem almost all nostr devs whine about except for the in-group who have push access to the nips repo - that being the ridiculously slow and arbitrary responses to any proposal at all... i've pretty much quit even bothering to file issues over stuff these days

also if you aren't #nostronly you may kindly sit and spin 
 I still can't see your profile picture on amethyst 
 Works on ditto.  Not a fan am amethyst, myself.   
 Theres something wrong with your website
 It returns an empty response, refreshing the page a few times makes it work
