I am sorry, but I disagree with the notion that Signal has to support any platform, as well as a store version for Windows 10. I have an M1 and don't expect any piece of software to cater to my weird choice in platform (got it for free, nice device, but it has the usual Apple restrictions). Why should any project jump through hoops to support the Windows store? In any case, you are still free to fork or adapt it. A pull request for support still needs review and I don't think anyone has to justify not embracing it. Make a separate project to wrap it into Windows store if you really need that.

The community already done that: https://github.com/dennisameling/signal-desktop https://github.com/dennisameling/signal-desktop (working on Windows & Apple ARM). Still, I think it's a shame that all the work was done, ready to be merged (needed PRs were open) and Signal devs just shut the door on it.

  Was there an agreement beforewise with them that they would integrate it?

  That is awesome that they did, but as I said they would want to review these changes which can bindsa significant amount of developer time. There is probably nothing at all wrong with their pull requests, but given the nature of the app a review is important. And when support is made available by the community, I don't see the immediate issue as users have a solution to run Signal in these configurations.
