No, that's not just my criteria, but Signal's own, when they entered the market as an alternatives to WhatsApp.

If you climb in the ring with Ali, then you'd better be able to box.

And it's also the criteria of millions of other users who have not switched to Signal because of the bugs and lack of basic features for a modern messaging app.

No, they are your criteria.

You have absolutely no knowledge that this is why people haven’t switched, indeed it’s highly unlikely that it would have been as successful as it has if this were the case. People move to Signal because they distrust Facebook and telegram.

The more logical explanation is simply network effects and inertia. Occam’s razor.
