Local backups can be encrypted (mine are). Also it's not necessary to use cloud backups (I don't).

Therefore, my iMessage history is secure (I fully understand that my message recipients may expose my individual messages, but my copy is safe).

The fact that it is possible to perform encryption on the entire backup file does not change the fact that many people are (wrongly) speculating about things which are easily verifiable.
