That's a little different. No harm is done, if a relay and/or client doesn't respect your mute list. You can just stop using it and go on with your life.

However if you rely on a note being deleted and it isn't, it can potentially cause tremendous damage. In most cases it won't cause any damage or if any, only minor, but making an integral feature that promises [thing], which cannot be reliably satisfied in a trustless manner is potentially dangerous.

That applies to the current state of deleting notes as well, or anything for that matter. Anything you post on Nostr is essentially public and permanent. We can't enforce relay behaviour, only exclude them, and even that is no guarantee that notes won't eventually be broadcast to bad actors. Currently.

Relays are untrustworthy by default, post accordingly, until we have mechanisms that make it impossible for bad actor relays to continue participating, like Bitcoin nodes.
