On the other hand it depends on how you "market" your product. Interestingly WhatsApp doesn't seem to mention their software to be secure on their web page. Yes, it says "Simple. Personal. Real time messaging." People can argue that personal is a guarantee of secure implementation, but there is no claim of extensive security audits or super ciphers.
Maybe it is people's false expectations, that what ever I send with my smartphone is secure.

So yes, clearly security is just not a priority for that product.
