I get their reasoning that SMS is insecure and you don't want to accidentially send an SMS. I use Signal mostly for "confidential" things, but every now and then for the occasional person who contacts me there. So Signal is my "secure" app, Whatsapp my "family" app, and so on. It's really weird if a family member shows up in my secure activism chat app.
It would make more sense if there was one codebase that supported all apps. And then I could make a "silo" for each use case. I would make one icon for activism, one for work, one for friends. The first one must use E2EE, the second one must use my company's Rocketchat, etc..
It's a pity Signal doesn't allow third party clients. I really hope somebody makes a rouge multi protocoll app, like Pidgin used to be. I bet a dedicated small team could make it in a year.
