I agree completely. These efforts to "break" end-to-end encryption seem entirely ineffectual so long as open source alternatives exist - they are plenty and well proliferated. Banning the use of unapproved software is impractical, like asking everyone to turn in guns. So what's really their end game?

Controlling the popular platforms, that the vast majority of people use, while ignoring or attempting to restrict over time the little-used alternatives?
