I personally don't see a problem with supporting deletes, it just comes with very confusing yet important to understand caveats for users.
The real problem is user expectations. A copy of your note has been distributed to thousands of different servers, desktops, and phones, complete with a signature proving its authenticity. The only thing you can do is politely ask those other parties to please delete their copies.
On the fediverse there is a Delete activity, and 99% of servers respect it, but several do not. You can never know for sure if a server retained a copy, and unlike a fediverse post, or a twitter screenshot, a nostr note contains a signature proving its authenticity.
