Well, a lot of things seem to speak volumes to you. You're also someone who wants to sysadmin their phones (no judgement, perfectly valid lifestyle choice). When you determined that Signal was making it hard to run through F-Droid, you wrote a long blog post casting aspersions on Moxie Marlinspike's motives.
There are two groups of people (among others) Signal clearly doesn't aim to serve:
1. People that are very sensitive about, and only have access to, their one phone number.
2. People who want to sysadmin their phones.
I have perhaps more sympathy for people in group (1), but, unlike you, in neither case do I think the mismatch is a great moral dilemma. I do, however, believe that promoting inferior and untested cryptography is immoral.

The two of us are far apart on these issues and perhaps we should just agree not to engage on them.
