People might be used to other SMS apps (better feature, familiarity etc) and Signal can't be used as an SMS app on iOS.

Sounds like a broken smartphone platform to me.

I'm not being glib: I really do believe that I should be easily able to replace any app on my phone. Android, while imperfect, is closer to that goal than is iOS, and so I use it, and recommend it to others.
