I don’t think it’s paranoid to not want any intermediary to know what you’re talking about, even if all you’re talking about is innocuous things like groceries.
Besides, they don’t have to “waste time” on anything. They’ve got computers to collect it all.
Of course, like you said, Signal or Matrix are potential solutions for that, but you still need to get both sides to agree on using them. SMS have the advantage that everyone has a phone number and can thus use them. Upgrading to RCS will secure this insecure-yet-very-popular medium.

Is there zero risk or do you think there is zero risk? Text messages can absolutely be intercepted by your service provider
- Comment on Phones should have FM radio again 8 months ago:
Why not both? Digital is obviously better but analog is painfully simple hence it’ll probably be the medium used for transmitting emergency alerts
- Comment on Which one do you trust the most for your privacy? 8 months ago:
Stop trusting your messaging platform and use this other messaging platform! Matrix can be less secure than Signal if used improperly

Sadly yeah

For what it’s worth Brave does extend the base Chromium functionality quite a bit. No idea why they couldn’t have done it with FF/Gecko though.
