This is just one of the comments on the Revolt E2EE issue, I guess the author felt so proud of their opinion to make it into a blog post, I wouldn't say anything if they at least revisited the whole discussion and tried to make a reasonable summary.
The argument provided in the article against features is simply "too hard to develop, too hard to maintain, nobody cares enough".
If nobody cared, nobody would go on Matrix, if everything that was hard to develop were just dropped before even trying, we would have stopped at the hello world (not implying I'm not a lazy developer, but I surely don't want to imply that there aren't brilliant people out there who can undertake scarily big tasks).
