Why not? It still possible to communicate securely using compromised devices and networks.

Could you expand on this? How would I securely communicate from a device that, say, has a kernel level implant? This is one of those cases where SGX/TrustZone would be immensely helpful but nobody has built a messenger that actually somehow fully lives in an enclave.

If you assume every device you use is compromised, how can you possibly use any encryption?
