> open standards that don't live in a silo are still important
Yes, I'd much prefer that Google and the carriers both have the opportunity to read all my communications instead of one or the other.

It works fine without "everyone" using it. It can be used as best-effort security rather than a complete blanket.

And I'm saying, regardless of the current implementation, just because it's an open standard, doesn't mean it can't be encrypted -- either in-transit or end-to-end.
Asymmetric cryptography, e.g. the TLS standard, is an open standard but secure (re: encrypted).
