It's different, because not being forced to use their app and have WhatsApp account to still talk to someone there?

It's certainly different, but for signal users who want to maintain that level of privacy, it's probably something they want, right? From their perspective this is probably a good decision.

I'm indifferent because I'd personally rather have interoperability and Beeper gets the job done.
