Neither the Signal deskop client, not the WhatsApp web client are true clients
You’re wrong on the Signal desktop point, it is a full fledged client on it’s own and can work without the mobile app.
As for the Dino example… well it shows it prominently enough that the connection is not excrypted,
No, it doesn’t. Dino just shows you a tiny padlock after the fact. There’s even a Github issue complaining that it’s not obvious: https://github.com/dino/dino/issues/971
I am honestly getting a bit tired of people having higher expectations of XMPP then even what the systems people compare it to do
Well, until these issues are fixed, noone, absolutely noone is going to recommend XMPP to anyone.
I don’t really care as iOS is insecure by default and due to the software mono-culture is trivial to exploit
Yet again, wrong; iOS is both significantly more secure and more user friendly than any Android/Linux phone out there with maybe the exception of GrapheneOS.
Yes, you link it once with your Android phone and then it’s a client on its own with its on messaging queue on the server. So no, you are wrong and don’t actually know what you are talking about.
Anyway, I’m not an iOS user in any shape or form, but I recognize that it’s a good platform, and far better suited for normal people than the fragmented mess that Android is.
Oh, and just to show you more ignorance on your part: gajim.org is another desktop XMPP client that has existed since… 2004, and also doesn’t do OMEMO by default and also doesn’t make it obvious that you’re not doing OMEMO. If a 17 year old app isn’t production ready, what is?

And we haven’t even started talking about all the other flaws: https://infosec-handbook.eu/blog/xmpp-aitm/
