You are assuming that criminals are not lazy like the rest of us.
And maybe they are even more lazy than average people because that's why they became criminals in the first place.

Oh they're (probably) lazy like everybody else, with the difference being that they have something to hide that will potentially put them in jail.
I'm not too worried about your average "small scale" criminal suddenly becoming a criminal mastermind, but organized crime will certainly adopt safer ways of communicating, and those are the people you want to catch with electronic surveillance.
The small scale criminals usually leaves plenty of other clues that will allow the police to capture them.
In theory, yes. In practice, doubtful. A system is only as strong as its weakest link.
These types of organizations learn to build their own submarines to transport drugs all over the world undetected. I think they can manage a fork of Signal/Session with any backdoors removed.
