Because blobs are in fact very different than indexable small events

This is why “object stores” are separate from “databases”

Files can be easily cached as the only operation is a key read, and can be served from high-throughput high-storage servers

Events cannot be easily cached

You can store them in a local relay.

I see Nostr adding value, if the commits are broken down into pieces, but not if they are just one big event.

What I am referring to here is on the server side.

Oh, okay.

and also distinct from filesystems, which also have various specifics of metadata

there are only 3 operations that matter

- write

- read

- delete

usually, the write operation will never issue the same key twice to different content (after a delete)

deletes are eventually consistent
