Well, please argue it then.
Please provide evidence that it – deployment – failed, not that it is hard to understand (69 pages of training books and multi-day training courses are understanding issues, not deployment).
I mean, it became possible to fully secure things end-to-end since 2010[1], so in about 10 years from now by your length of time theory, we should know how it works out.

Off-the-record messaging (pidgin-otr) is available since 2005, PGP since 1991 and the theory behind it (RSA (1977), Diffie-Hellman key exchange (1976), etc.) is much older.

- ballard 13y agoAdoption can be modeled to depend on ease-of-use driven by apparent need, influenced by a user's risk-appetite. But also popularity, being a differential equation, where it's rate of change is proportional to the number of users. So if the apparent benefit isn't there, most people being reactive, probably won't use something better, especially if it's as hard to get working as old Postgres... They use MySQL until Postgres demonstrates advantageousness.
