Sounds less like "bad faith" and more like "I was hoping that Meta would cave and offer this to everyone, but turns out they don't have to do that because EU jurisdiction ends at EU borders"?

Fair enough.

Now, not sure what I was hoping for. None of my messages currently go through Meta and I'm quite happy with this.

As an implementer, I certainly wouldn't want to police and track my users and their location for a chat service, and as a user I wouldn't want a chat service to track me.

I also certainly don't want to depend on a system which is unreliable because it artificially depends on my or my contacts position on Earth

This whole thing sounds like something I will not want to use anyway.
