Nothing rude about it -- if the protocol depends on client-side s/w to pinky-swear it respects message retention, then it's an insecure protocol.

I like signal and use it, but I already thought message retention was pointless. It seems at best a trusted informal protocol you can use with known parties but not something you can really rely on.
