Is the desire for e2e/zero knowledge encryption (Skiff, Proton, Signal etc) a stated preference with a much smaller TAM vs the revealed preference of 'just good enough' or 'the devs will add it later' encryption?

Part of the stated vs revealed preference of E2EE, ZK, MPC, and other cryptographic approaches, hell, even cryptocurrencies, is that the value delivered has to be greater than the investment. With Signal, a lot of heavy lifting is done to make it as usable as possible, and even then, there are still rough edges.

Part of this is because it is incredibly difficult to retain the security guarantees by smoothing some of those rough edges. Part of it is because a more holistic solution is required (PKI, such as Apple's iCloud Keychain infrastructure and Advanced Data Protection, has now enabled equivalent security with easier use)
