    That’s a terrible UX. If you have a protocol independent from clients, at least the chat database backup should be standardized. It’s not.

    That means you’ll forever get stuck to one client. This is absolutely terrible for any organization.

      Why would an organization use OMEMO if it doesn’t fit their requirements? OMEMO isn’t necessary for encrypting xmpp communications. Also, I get the concern that only the original client will have a full history of the user, but most people don’t need a complete chat history. Or put another way, wanting a complete, unencrypted chat history is relatively orthogonal to wanting perfect forward secrecy.
