I think this needs qualification.
If I am stood directly behind Alice or Bill then it is possible I never see the interaction at all even though I am an observer, just as if I hold a two identical pencils together and look at them from the correct angle I observe only a single pencil.
The important thing is in all cases, observers "see" space-time interactions as the geodesic of the event projected on to their own observational frame.
Through that projection it is possible to lose degrees of freedom which can be space-time etc.
It's through this projection that HUP emerges since if in the observational frame the time dimension is limited, the projected time axis of the event tends toward zero.
