Quality of security aside, I'd be curious which encrypted messaging apps have the highest quantity of (encrypted—some support unencrypted, also, as Messages does) messages flowing through them in a given day—for, say, US users, as that's the jurisdiction of the government whose motives are being questioned, so seems the most relevant.
One can imagine a case of a particular app drawing law enforcement's and/or intelligence services' ire not because it's the best, but because they're seeing a lot more conversations they wish they could read, but can't (easily), going over that channel than any other single one.
