I suspect that is the future for encrypted messaging. Pretty much everyone ends up keeping their old messages around thus negating the value of forward secrecy[1]. Deniability ends up being just some forgability scheme in most cases[2].
So the benefit of those features turned out to not be worth the extra risk of the added complexity.
