Why would anyone want that to happen? The nozzle being stuck 'in battery' is the normal operation of the blow back mechanism. Like what StrikeFreedom said, it's actually a bonus rather than a problem.
I know you're only 'suggesting' the above, but I think it's a useless suggestion nonetheless because if you actually install a stronger nozzle return spring, the gas used to propel the bb and the blow back mechanism will require additional energy to perform the blow back action (albeit a small addition of energy required) and it will decrease the overall efficiency of the gun itself.
Note that no matter the strength of the nozzle return spring, the nozzle will nonetheless go back into its original position once the slide moves all the way backwards for the blow back action because the stroke of the slide movement is larger than the stroke of which the nozzle can slide along the blow back unit. Hence using a stronger nozzle return spring does nothing but increase the gas usage per shot.
EDIT: the air seal between the hop bucking and the nozzle head would decrease as well since a stronger return spring will reduce the effect of any friction holding the hop bucking and the nozzle head together when the gun is fired. You'll probably see a gas plume (or a bigger gas plume if you already have it in a stock gun) coming out of the ejection port; which is wasted gas.
