 Wired is a sleaze rag that's a shadow of the former Wired of the 90w and early 00s. It's run by the 'woke' dictates of the Condé Nast suits in NYC, and they are also in decline. So of course they'd choose a sensationalist angle on the whole messenger privacy reporting. 
 If nobody was paying attention, it would not have been a problem. But many people, beyond the niche of technologists and privacy supporters, are misled to see privacy as something that enables rather than reduces crime, and it may have very damaging consequences for democracy – it's a real threat.
