It would be trivial to discover and would be pretty big news in the security community.

I'd wager most of these comments are from nontechnical people, or technical people that are very far removed from security.

I'm technical and work in security. Since it is trivial, please explain. Ideally not using a strawman like "well just run strings and look for uploadPlaintextChatsToServer()".
