Making things secure and private is hard. There's a lot of hoops to jump through.
Naive implementations are easy and cheap. And, if these tools and their entire software tree is not open-source, we cannot verify it's security.
We just have to trust that the developers are good at what they're doing. When every company under the sun has had multiple data breeches, I'm not too keen to do that.
Open-source the entire stack, show me a few white papers proving it's cryptographically sound, then I'll consider it. Until then, we should do with these tools what they deserve: being shoved up the government's ass.
