The F-Droid issue mentioned nothing about blobs as I recall, the reason was they want to be able to push security updates in a timely manner. F-Droid makes it far too easy for people to keep using an old version.

Being open/free is to allow people to have any version they chose. I've pushed both in App Store and Google Play Store, if the software is truly free/open it shouldn't be hard to publish it on F-Droid. The problem is when there are mixxed proprietary code in the project then F-Droid tend to reject it.

I use Signal, and am not saying that they are doing anything shady.

But that argument would make for a convenient smokescreen if they were.
