"Signal's devs are strongly opposed to anyone creating third-party Signal clients."
Hmm, that might have been the case. There was that famous blog post from 2016 about no third-party clients. That has never been retracted, but they got so much flac over it that they seemingly changed their mind. What I hear from the developers of Whisperfish for Sailfish OS is that the people from Signal are quite helpfull in bringing that app towards a good functioning client.
Also, there are laws being worked on in Europe that popular platforms will have to allow third-party clients, not much different from the web and its browsers.
