I'm curious which messenger options allow you to add a new device to receive and decrypt old messages? I don't think Signal allows it, and forward secrecy seems to be the standard for secure E2EE.
I do agree that can be a source of friction for users. And perhaps an encryption system that doesn't require forward secrecy would be enough for most.
