It's almost guaranteed that iMessage info is being read at the desktop (requires at least one Max) in the hop and relies on the fact that all chat clients don't encrypt at rest.

The minute that changes / the minute further sandboxes come in to prevent reading of the unencrypted chat at rest, these are at risk.

It does seem like even automattic is counting on putting more people into a common address-space before that happens so they can continue to build out their network and support protocols that are platform and device independent.
