Hate to be the bearer of bad news but that’s because Signal is teeny tiny. If Signal makes it to a billion users I guarantee it will happen to them.

SMS is bigger than even iMessage, so if you can spam everyone with iMessage and more by using SMS, why would anyone bother with iMessage?

Bigger doesn't necessarily mean more profitable.

IMessage is full of profitable phone owners

That receive messages over SMS in the same app...

What's the advantage of iMessage spam? Group chat spam? Higher quality video spam? Is that worth all the effort to do your spamming only on Apple devices?
