It doesn't really matter. Any communications provider must keep call records for the FSB, so routing them through central servers and recording there is the only option anyway.

Of course it matters. STUN isn't theoretical, it's in actual, practical use across a great many things. There's plenty of things that aren't "calls" in a telecommunications sense. Discord, Telegram, Zoom, Slack, Jitsi, and far more. And there are plenty of other things entirely that use the same tactics to get direct peer-to-peer connections.
