Not at all, and it's kind of strange to me that you do. It's just... how the app works. Slack lets you do it, for example, and I've used it occasionally. Heck, reddit (and I think HN?) let you delete comments, even if they were previously, uh, transmitted to a reader's browser.
The Gmail example is irrelevant because that's not how email works. If a new company / protocol came about which wanted to try their hand at a different way of sending online letters, that let you delete them later then I'd have no problem with that. I might not use the service, but there's no foul play or anything.

I don't think this is a particularly well-advertised feature of Viber. Neither reddit nor hn are meant to be a means of private comunication. Generally you can't view them offline, and so on. I'm not sure about slack >that's not how email works And I think the average user's expectation is that a messaging app will work the same. By the way, reddit won't let you delete PMs you've sent to another user.
