The best email app wouldn't ban you for an emoticon in Youtube chat or sending a medical photo to your doctor.

This is just crass. There's plenty of very good software with shitty T&C, this isn't anything new.
I dare you to find those examples in the Terms and Conditions.
These ToS, CSAM, moderation, etc are very orthogonal to the app itself. Why conflate them? Most non-hackernews people are completely unaware of them, so it won't be a factor in their choice of platform. Are we even sure other apps aren't doing similar things? Or have equally dangerous practices around password changes?
Because the user experience is that it doesn't work.
