I hear this all the time, but to be fair it wasn’t even them. It was Google putting up “framework defenses” (with RCS, and now they’re doing the same with the native Android phone dialer).

Where Signal dropped the ball was their marketing: it was as easy as picking up their old app (TextSecure) so that they didn’t have to worry about feature clash with current Signal, then rebrand this old app as “Signal SMS” and boom, instant adoption because it’d be fairly trivial to “migrate”. And they get to steal the thunder from the apps that slowed down development.

From what I get, if your phone is anything other than a Pixel still within supported lifetime, then LOS is decent. At that point it’s mostly a hardware tradeoff (use a phone that all of has active lifetime support, is bootloader-relockable and has Custom ROM support) than a software one.
