But they're for different things in Nostr my pubkey is my identity I want all my posts linked to. Its not like bitcoin where I don't want transactions linked.  And in the cases where I do want unlinked identities, just generate a new pub key.

What if the default was unliked messages for everybody and only your followers can put them together? This is possible. It was a choice to reuse the public key.

Someone can always fork the code 🧑🏽‍💻

I think that introduces a lot of complexity, that I don't really see the benefit to. Especially when a big advantage of nostr is its simplicity.

Maybe, maybe not. There are simple designs for post-ID linkage using IPFS (sign list of hashes). Nothing too far from where nostr is.
