Unless you're sitting within BT proximity (in which case, why message each other instead of talking??), this is online too.
Briar is not for the average Bob. Think about journalist trading information/documents, which could be captured if any online transferring is involved.
The internet isn't free around the world (not free as in free beer, free as in I could do what I want without consequences)
If it’s that sensitive then you want wired or physical media.
Yeah but trading information in an encrypted manner online is solved by dozens. Trading information in close proximity to one another (BT is only a few metres at best) is also solved by dozens, even in ways that can't be sniffed because it's wireless. I'm not really sure what briar brings to the table, that isn't already solved?
