So I guess for really sensitive matters you have to make sure your collaborators know how to stay safe

This is a really bad idea. The software you use should be usable safely without any knowledge of security if you want it to be really effective outside of security conscious people. And even security conscious people make mistakes.

And of course if your use-case really required a web-client you could just self-host it

That's not an option for 99.99% of the population.
