There are no caveats to this that can make me feel better about it. This is a normalization of what I already new to be true - that my phone has never actually been mine, and any controll I thought i had can and will be taken from me at any moment.
In theory, sure - it’s only a concern if you have a work-managed device.
In concept, though, there are more parties with partial control/access to your device from whom you only have a tenuous protection at-best.
Normalizing the practice of automatic archival of encrypted communication is bad. I don’t think that’s a particularly spicy take. “They say it won’t be used except in these specific circumstances” is no better than a fig-leaf, especially when those types of promises have been repeatedly broken.

I mean if you own a work managed phone then that’s always been true. If the phone is yours then really this article doesn’t pertain to you.
