The messages I don't want people getting ahold of are either created with expirations or I manually delete them. I couldn't care less if someone 2 years from now can read a chat log between me and my mom if it means that I can actually read them 2 years and multiple devices away from now as well.

What I don't want is to be forced to message with one app for secure chat and something completely different for daily driving. It's a pain, and nobody in my circle is willing to do it (and I don't blame them).

Completely agree with that.

This whole 'I don't care about history' discourse can change greatly for some people after a loved one dies, for example.
