@NEETzsche @lain there might be a bit of confusion from UX/UI standpoint - how's "display only to followers" different from "followers only scope" and why are there different settings?
From security/privacy standpoint it's bullshit because every software has to support it properly, and by default everything will not since it's a new thing. And our experience in this field shows that only way to ensure privacy is to break compatibility (by changing the AP type, essentially), and as you can see Pleroma Chats got jack shit support from other server software (honorable mention - fork of Pleroma, creatively called Akkoma, removed support for them entirely).
We can have "suggest" flags, that can be used to "hint" software to display a post in some different way (collapse by default, display attachments in certain way, suggest that "subject line" is used as a CW, etc), for stuff that we don't necessarily care that other side might display it incorrectly.
