    the server-side code is proprietary

    This is true and bad, but it doesn't matter for encryption as long as the clients are free.

      It does matter if e2e encryption is not the default. The server does have access to your plan-text conversations

        I think they are orthogonal issues. Even If the server side code was published they still have access to your plan-text conversations. And the secret chats are secret even if the server side code is proprietary.
