Thanks for looking up their funding situations, appreciate it!
I meant neglected as in “they don’t seem to prioritize it for whichever reason”, not necessarily funding- or capacity-constraints.
I see how they might not want to implement some of these features, though even in the case of “show message history” to new members, there could be more elegant solutions like giving members the option to opt-in to sharing their messages with new people in the group.
Other features like “enabling community chats / supergroup” or “better chat archiving & sorting chats in folders” seem not in conflict with privacy, at least not obviously. Generally they do seem to copy many features from other messengers (they recently launched stories, similar to Whatsapp status), they just seem a lot slower than Whatsapp and Telegram to adopt these things and far behind.
