That may be their product management premise, but it's not why I use it. I use it because people I need to talk to are there and it has proper e2e messaging. I'm not beholden to their expectations of why I want to use their product.

Also I'm not advocating for anything to be kept server side, nor do I see any reason why other identifiers couldn't be kept client side. An address book is just a list of identifiers, it's not magical just because it's phone numbers and already on my phone.

We've had this conversation before though. I remain unconvinced.
