      Was that the punch in the face, or was it all the morons intentionally misinterpreting this argument and saying “but why would u want to send nonsecure messages are you aware SMS isn’t secure it’s like so insecure to send SMS bro it’s not secure it’s like literally a security risk bro SMS isn’t secure at all and also are you aware SMS security is poor”

        Not doubting that pushy idiots are going to pushy idiot, but I think you’ve strawmanned the actual reason hard enough.

        Most people who want it back don’t need, want, or understand why secure messaging exists.

        Here’s the simple facts:

        SMS is not secure, or private.
        Signal is for secure, private comms.

        As mildly inconvenient as it is, Signal explained their reasoning in great detail, and I happen to agree: There should never have been an insecure option on a secure messaging app.
