>I feel that many of these pseudo-secure, proprietary enhancements to email create a false sense of security for non-tech-savvy users.
OTOH, circumventing a security measure means deliberately violating someone's boundaries.
For example, I communicate with my friends and partnets with Signal often. We usually keep the disappearing messages setting on so that over time, our ephermeral conversations drift away. (Especially useful since even if someone is not malicious, a stolen or compromised device could leak sensitive conversations).
I suppose someone could capture and save an embarasing conversation. But if they did that, I would turn around and shame them - for violating my boundaries, for breaking my trust, and using that trust to bully me.
I suspect that given how the conversation on privacy has shifted, it would be viewed worse to steal someone's nudees, gripes about friends/coworkers, or jokes made in poor taste than it was to do the original communication.
Total security is impossible, but I can ensure that it will be abundantly evident you are an untrustworthy, phony, and malicious person if you circumvent access controls to leak my communications.
