i also don't like bitcoin pruned nodes but they will at a least replay everything from the genesis. kaspa will just trust the PoW as if it verifies the txs somehow. that's very similar to a bitcoin spv node.
you said it yourself, you are using PoW as a trust mechanism to pick the chain, you are not validating blocks older than utxoset snapshot. you have no idea what older txs are, you are not validating that. you have no power to go "ah this old tx makes no sense, let's blacklist this block and find another chain without it". miners and full nodes control your chain/DAG. you trust the PoW, you dont verify. that's literally a SPV node.
and starting from utxoset snapshot is not a cool feature of kaspa that's just sacrificing verification for faster IDB. why? because you produce 10blocks per seconds right now. no normal user can sync that. its terabytes of data even now.
bitcoin limits block size and time on purpose to keep the chain small. because its the global state that every bitcoin user has to verify and sync with. then we have things like lightning, ark or others that create isolated states where not everyone has to sync with. that's how scaling works in any system, not just bitcoin.
your design sacrifices sovereignty, decentralization, and verification in favor of blocks-per-second.

and i said the node you linked only connects to 9 nodes because again a normal home hardware and internet can't handle 10 blocks per second i guess. how much bandwidth does that thing spent that you/they had to lower the node count to only 9?
why not 50 nodes?
you say you are running kaspa, but all you have is a pruned SPV client with ✨DAG✨. by desig kaspa is controlled by the miners and "archival" full nodes. you dont have a power to say "no". because you trust pow, don't verify.
