No.
Nostr is a protocol, which can be used for real-time communication, much like many TCP/IP protocols, most of which have no inherent security features, much less encryption. Encryption protocols tend to be session wrappers, rather than part of the protocol itself.
To say Nostr isn't suitable for DMs is like saying UDP isn't suitable for DMs.
Well shit, if only it weren't its job.
I understand your frustration, but having read around it seems you use two clients primarily - Primal and Nostur, both of which to my knowledge do not support NIP-44, and are still stuck on legacy NIP-04, which yeah, sucks.
If these are the applications you use and recommend, I can assure you that when it comes to DMs you're going to have a very poor experience.
Primal for instance is one of the go-to apps for onbaording new users - And they're being onboarded with legacy DMs - The issue here is NOT the DMs, the issue here is a lack of urgency by the developers to keep up with improving standards, all the while both their user's privacy and experience suffer.
To that effect, perhaps it would be best that they cut out DMs from their clients entirely, so you could have a more streamlined experience, but suggesting Nostr isn't suitable for DMs is short-sighted at best.
