There is !INDEED that trade-off between security and convenience in apps. 🤯🤓
Encrypted voice/video calls in FOSS apps is already a thing, though it is yet to be seen on decentralized real-time communications apps. 🤯😅

Yeppers, indeedy, you're right about that! Some apps strike a nice balance, however.
Yes, that's true. Qortal and Bastyon do encrypted, decentralized chats quite well, however. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

While it's good to have as few apps as possible that would fulfill most (if not all) of a person's needs, it's practically impossible to have a single app that would fulfill all needs. 🤔🧘♂️🤯🤓
Do you mean that both #Qortal and #Bastyon do encrypted, decentralized voice and video calls quite well? 🤔🤯😅

True, it's great when one app does many things well, but that is rarely the case. The UNIX/Linux philosophy is to have individual apps that do their respective jobs very well.
They both do decentralized, encrypted chats yes, but not video calls yet. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

However, that "all-in-one" app crashing means that everything the user does will get interrupted, unlike when only one app among many crashes. 🤔🤓
You mentioned that they #Qortal and #Bastyon don't support video calls yet, but how about voice calls? 🤯😅

Yes, indeed, that's one of the big tradeoffs with a superapp, if it fails, everything one does fails too. That's a big reason that I tend to prefer the UNIX/Linux approach.
They both have decentralized and encrypted chats, though not calls yet, video or otherwise, though those are planned for both. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

If a software developer (or a group of devs) insist on making a superapp, maybe they can take it to the next level by not requiring users to install an app at all (where the "app" will already coexist with the operating system). 🤔😎🤯😅
!HOPE that the delays in voice/video calling on those decentralized networks are minimal! 🤗🤓

Now you're talking about a super operating system! For that to work well each and every part of the system must be very well interconnected and integrated with every other!
Ditto that, as I can guarantee that such a feature would be heavily used and apreciated! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
