If the encryption is ever cracked now everyone can read everyone's messages though can they not? I know it feels unlikely to happen today, but tomorrow's technological breakthrough could make anything happen in a matter of months. The future is uncertain.

The encryption of the messages themselves is largely shared with every other part of cryptography - ed25519 keys are used almost exclusively over rsa for anything new and AES 256+ protects every single TLS connection. A lot of the internet hinges on the encryption used being resistant against known attacks.
