Honest question, why is it legal to use auto deletion with Signal, but illegal to have a fork of Signal with auto deletion?

Using signal with auto deletion is illegal. Creating a fork of Signal for CIA (or whichever) use and then deliberately not removing auto-deletion is really illegal. I think that's the thought process, at least.
