Yeah, this seems like a huge overshoot. The US government does try to snoop on everybody's business but an E2E conversation on Wire or Telegram won't be traced. Could say the same for WhatsApp before they decided to go and comply with the UK's ridiculous request for data.

I do wonder how businesses deal with the snooping because I'm sure there are plenty of CEOs out there who wouldn't use a messenger to do deals or negotiations and many of them might be wary of an app they aren't familiar with. What happens then?
