The UX that would be needed to make the relays work that way is quite complex. And it would be costly as well (considering free relays only exist during this hobbyist phase).
The idea of sending to multiple relays is to increase redundancy. If you only send to one relay for one purpose, you are defeating this feature of redundancy and data availability.
I think it is more likely that we will have either
1. Multiple accounts for different purposes. (Not ideal because we want to build the reputation on just one account)
2. Multiple lists of contacts to which we send “private” posts. (I think private posts are so obviously necessary and I’m surprised they haven’t seen an NIP yet)
Just some thoughts
