>Terrorists can sideload

many don't because terrorists in reality don't tend to be very smart. And if they do, its not that difficult to trick them and compromise that channel aswell (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/06/08/fbi-app-arre...)

The amount of people who get caught on insecure communication, including some famous tech CEOs, is staggering. Most people, criminal or not, are completely security/tech illiterate. Changing the default has a huge impact. Webs in these investigations tend to be wide so it's not just about literal criminals, if one suspect leaks info to anyone that may be enough for authorities to catch on, it's a statistical game basically and the harder you make it to not mess up the higher your chance to catch someone.

Gentle reminder that the US intelligence leaker was caught because he distributed the material on a gaming discord on an account with user info that was one Google search away from his father's instagram and steam profile. And that guy was US National Guard tech support staff.
