There is an infinite number of encrypted chat apps that can be built. What is finite is the number of organizations that have a brand strong enough to launch one that becomes popular immediately. What’s also finite is the number of organizations that can get that funding to build popularity slowly (eg Signal). The governments may successfully be able to stomp out those services and just leave the tiny thousand-user apps alone. As soon as one of those becomes popular enough, rinse and repeat the above.
