I've talked to a deltachat dev about this, and the signal protocol is simply technically superior to autocrypt (used by deltachat, etc.). It gives you many more guarantees about things like forward secrecy. There is standardization work to bring these benefits to autocrypt, but it will probably be a while. Signal also has the benefit of having a familiar setup for non-techy people, so it is easier to get people to use in my experience.

The database shouldn't have any issues, since it will be getting a salted hash (one would hope). Usually there are safeguards on the auth system blocking that kind of stuff so that people don't create passwords they can't type. However, it would be technically feasible to allow those characters in a password.

The facts you are using to support your argument point largely to a failure of the particular transit system currently implemented in your country and area.

When a country invests heavily in car infrastructure, cars are easier to use.

Gotta keep a positive outlook

You can also use this lil guy, but by default you can't install unfree software (not sure if that is different if you use flakes): nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true;

You forgot

nixpkgs.config.allowUnfreePredicate = pkg: builtins.elem (lib.getName pkg) [
    "steam"
    "steam-original"
    "steam-unwrapped"
    "steam-run"
  ];

Free software licenses (e.g. GPL) allow repackaging and selling the works, they just also require that any of the 'repackaging' is also under a free software license. You can even sell someone a piece of free software without making any changes, nobody is going to buy it though because it can usually be found for free somewhere else.
