Why? I think that would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater. It makes sense to mark secret information as secret so even oblivious people can understand that it’s secret and they shouldn’t share it. That’s why confidential data is stamped with CONFIDENTIAL in big red letters and why PGP private keys have a special marker. I’m not sure what we would achieve with removing the nsec prefix.
Giving friendly names and human-readable representations to data that is essentially private is a really bad idea
