> However double spend is a problem with just digital signatures that “retroactively obsoleted” NFTs.

As I already stated, this is not true. Nobody can stop an author from minting two different blockchain NFTs pointing to the same content, there's no difference between that and "double spending" a digital signature NFT. At the end of the day, the only thing the NFT does is prove "the author authorized this verbal statement of ownership", a digitally signed text file does exactly the same thing.

I think what you are missing is that for NFT adherents, they don't care about the original content, just the NFT.

btw, I own an NFT that represents all natural numbers, therefore all possible NFTs.
