Why do criminals use their own encrypted messaging platforms, instead of using any of the recommended apps? (www.europol.europa.eu)

Does that mean that other apps like signal for example have back doors?

Do criminals have a knowledge of exploits in the recommended messaging apps?

I think that simply knowing about PGP and using it with traditional platforms will go a long way. If you add some steganography to the mix, it can go a long way.
