Message sending (and the auto-destruct feature) have been absurdly buggy. Some messages don't send, some don't get received, some don't destroy themselves... You can't send stickers, you can't send gifs (though, the removal of the gif plugin might make sense for privacy reasons)... It's just not great.
I look forward to this maturing, but at the moment I'm not impressed.
Given the extra caveat that I have to explicitly opt-in, I'd go so far as to say Facebook doesn't really want people using this.

They just add encryption because it is a useful buzzword for the masses. And non techs may somehoe feel safe.
In the end any of their encryptions is worth nothing without public audit anyway.
