Hmmm if I understand this correctly although part of the broader problem I think there are different concerns
Yes using the internets leaks your IP all over the place
Yes downloading images leaks your IP
A specific concern with connecting to untrusted relays is associating your nostr pubkey with your location and movements
This doesn't need to be fatal, ppl can use a trusted proxy relay either personal or public like filter.nostr.wine which does all the inbox/outbox stuff
Sure VPN / tor is better for privacy but it's good to have options
