I always forget that Snapchat has a public side to it. My wife and I just use it as a messaging app for videos/pictures.

Sorry, why would you use this app if you only use the messaging part? Not sure why you call it p2p, the media you transmit is likely sent to Snapchat servers before it arrives at the other person.

Because my wife likes it, and she's pretty important to me.

You're right though, it's certainly not a private p2p network.

The best summary of “the real world” vs principles.

I feel for the first reason! I was able to switch with my wife from Whatsapp to Signal but thats about as much as is possible. And we both have to still use Whatsapp because of others.
