It's not pretty cool that I can send whatever malicious content I want to a wallet and the receiver has no recourse against receiving it. Want to harass someone with dick-picks that empty their wallet when they try to "delete" them? Web3 has got you all day long.

No it is not. An image cannot be stored on any of the popular block chains. An NFT contains a link to an image, which the chain has no way of displaying, third party websites like Opensea display the images.

And you can never delete anything from a blockchain so your second point is completely false as well. And even if you could delete something from a chain it could not "drain" your wallet unless you explicitly gave it permission to use your coins.
