What if device keys also got stolen? Then the DMs can also be read. Maybe it's better that no server stores the messages. Storing would be responsibility of the device, not the server. This was, even if the keys on the device would be lost, no message would be compromised

If it's is in the secure element, its impossible to get the secret out of there.

The silicon does not support printing secrets. Same for ePassport, it does not support printing your fingerprints. The only way to extract them is to hack the transistors or root it if it is more complex system like Intel CPU. The way it works is that it derives some symmetric key and gives it to you or even encrypts data for you.
