Yeah, I’m one of em. I’m well aware it’s not secure, but as a frontend, signal certainly was more customizable and pleasant to use even for just the few people I had to sms till I could convince to use signal.
I’m not convinced it ever should’ve. Make it obvious sms mode is in use, etc etc. But it was great to have everything in one place. One blocklist, great photo editing etc
And then there is the kinds of people who cry about Signal dropping support for SMS.

It was so much easier to convince people to use Signal when it had SMS support. I think while Signal needed to drop it, it wasn’t the time yet.
