Lots of people working remotely. In Russia foreign companies that won't share keys with government are banned so domestic market has room for insecure apps.

It's owned by a domestic company, though. Not sure if you meant "In Russia companies that won't share keys with government are banned".

All companies that use strong encryption are banned. Domestic companies can't use proper encryption so they aren't really banned, lest they go under very fast.

Tough situation. More power to companies that keep fighting the good fight.
