In principle you're correct, but in practice, the lack of an export feature is enough to make sure that 99 out of 100 conversations don't get leaked to third parties. You don't know with perfect certainty which ones do get leaked anyway, but...
99 out of 100 conversations wouldn't be leaked to third parties even if there was an encrypted backup feature - which there is, is android. You're trading hostile inconvenience for basically zero benefit.
If "99 out of 100" is your acceptable threshold, Signal is probably too much encryption in the first place.
Eh? Most solutions aside from Signal/Matrix would imply 0 out of 100. I don't like 0.
Signal and Matrix are not the only solutions with E2EE.
