Why can't I edit conversation messages?

It does this weird thing where I can edit it for a minute or too, but then I can't edit at all.

Is that intentional?
 
Yes. Conversation messages don't track history or even show when they were last edited. There is a small window after a message is sent in case you notice a typo or something, but after that the message is locked to preserve the record.
