Nostr occupies a kinda funny ground though, since events are encrypted locally by your own key, and thus travel the wire in a verifiably encrypted way. Thus when it arrives at the other end of the wire, even sans SSL/HTTPS, that thang is encrypted… end-to-end.

Totally agree with your underlying gripe though. The general public is being misled and misinformed by tag words like “end-to-end encryption”.

We all here take up the flag of educating the people with computer and cryptographic wisdom, in some way, as Nostr users. Good call-out!
