I'm wondering why you think that would happen. Like, really, why do you expect that?
The goverment in Germany is fighting tooth and nail to keep Telegram and Signal from having actual end-to-end-encryption, trying to ensure that the government has some kind of side channel that makes it possible for them to decrypt everything in case of federal investigations.
So I'd love that but what is your reason to believe in actual federal instant messaging of any kind?

It's technically possible, which makes a good implementation difficult to stop. Look at cryptocurrencies for an example of the struggle governments have to control such things.
