Same goes for people who you convince to install Signal. They'll end up never using it because they just forget about it and they're not the ones who wanted to use it anyway. Being able to message people on WhatsApp through Signal would also make it a lot more easy to convince people to install it.

And once those people have it installed, they'll talk to each other using signal-to-signal as opposed to signal-to-whatsapp!

It pretty much solves the chicken and egg problem, and yet they're scoffing at it as a solution. IMO it's a big mistake.
