No, I'm just repeating the oft-said maxim of 'Don't Roll Your Own Crypto' [1] (which applies in the form of know-what-you're-doing-while-implementing-someone-else's-crypto) while emphasizing that you should probably be a domain expert in the domain you're developing in. If I know nothing about High Frequency Trading or Oil Exploration, I wouldn't want to be coding for it at all, and nor would my employer. I believe it's a reasonable expectation that people who implement secure messaging be domain experts in crypto AND messaging.
