vagabond (npub1k43…a8eh) shibco (npub1jgw…np6f) At this point the fediverse is about 15 years old, and so political naivety is not something which it can realistically be accused of. The kinds of features it has - peculiar though some may seem to Twitter users - are the outcome of numerous battles, scandals and exoduses.
If I am interpreting your lingo correctly then I agree that the right response to scandal is not to go into locked down fully encrypted p2p mode. Making it all "technically secure" against nation state adversaries means that end users have to manage their keys on their own endpoint devices and practice scrupulous opsec. This is something which the average person is never going to manage, and which even experts often fail at. So if you want a public fediverse there are some tradeoffs which have to be accepted.
