I can do something about local storage, I can't realistically do anything about E2EE.

You can enable secret chat. Like press the button. But that's probably too difficult compared to encrypting you devices.

Sure, but what happens when my contacts forget to push it and send me confidential information? I can be the most careful person in the world and always press that button, but I cannot control what others do. That's why it needs to be E2EE for everyone.
