I mean, they invested a year into covert development of a crypto wallet inside Signal. Maybe that time could have been spent better.

From the commits I only really saw Moxie adding this and he hasn't been doing as much dev work in the last few years. So I don't feel that this took much away. It's hard to tell if it is a good move or not since Telegram and WA are both adding payments to their platforms and there is a need for feature parity. But regardless, MOB probably wasn't a good fit and we've seen no update since.

My complaint is more than Signal moves far too slow. I'm not saying to move fast and break things, that's far from what I want. But I am saying maybe add a few more devs.

Absolutely, then such an important issue probably wouldn't stay open for this long.
