Did you even read the article? You keep harping on E2EE, but privacy features like "no screenshots" and "no way to record conversations" have absolutely nothing to do with E2EE. Those are UI defaults, which are a completely different domain of concern, one where these types of dark patterns typically and quickly emerge in these types of social networks. So again-- if someone builds the same ole' shitty proprietary business model on an "at all costs" growth model that adopts an early band of scam artists, it is without a doubt undesirable to make it difficult for the future victims of those scams to collect evidence. (And it doesn't matter that one could get a screenshot, and that one could record the audio, defaults matter.)
