Why aren’t people using Status?

It somewhat boggles my mind that the Ethereum community is promoting a chat app that's not even encrypted. Why aren't people using and promoting Status, and why haven't any developers pushed for the SHH protocol being added to the Ethereum nodes?

A few years ago it seemed like a smart project to add secure encrypted chat to the nodes, but it seems like the entirety of the idea just died. Granted I understand the architecture really requires users hosting their own mailservers, so it was a bit too technical for normies, but we have a somewhat ok project here that has way more security right here and no one uses it.

Did I miss something about Status on why everyone seems to completely ignore it?
