I think it is against physical seizure and tampering. A good part of security against that is obscurity, don't you think?

I wasn't just thinking about security against seizure or tampering of messages, but rather that since the servers could be taken down if discovered by a powerful adversary, then the network would no longer be functional. So it is not a very secure messaging tool to use if the threat model is to provide a reliable means of communication against a powerful adversary who could identify and take down the servers.
How do you know the lack of location info is to stop you knowing if its distributed or not?
