Fair enough, but it's not like they couldn't provide a more direct signup option in the Android version if they wanted to. The fact that they didn't is telling, IMO.
To circle back to the original point, blaming Apple for the "trend" of not being able to sign up inside of apps is clearly nonsensical.
Don't remember if they had a link for signups before though, just pointing out that you can't deduce that point from given facts.
(Nor is there proof for the original thesis, it's all speculation at this point)
