Signal don't want you to build 3rd party clients and integrations, they are another fully centralised product meant to capture and lock users into what signal believes is better for them. That's the whole "we love opensource but we won't merge your PRs and might lock your account out of the network for using forked clients that got rid of features like crypto that you might not like". I'm still sour for all the bad faith placating "the ecosystem is moving" post by Moxie and the lame excuse for not supporting federation. And no, I'm not finding it hard to onboard family and friends onto secure XMPP clients and accounts.
