It is beyond comprehension that they think pin reminders being mandatory is ok. I have been a huge fan of signal from the beginning and this is single handily a deal breaker and has me looking for alternatives.

How did they not learn from this when they tried it with the activation lock.

Indeed. It's stupid. And it's very much scaring off their less technical users. My aunt is nearly 80, she's been using signal for years, and the other day she sent me a very confused message about the PIN. She doesn't understand why it's suddenly there, and she doesn't want it there. Neither do I. And there's no way to turn it off? I won't be recommending signal anymore. It used to be a mostly secure drop-in replacement for the default SMS app, and it was truly stellar at that. But if it's going to become a pain to use, what's the point?

Is there a reason more people don't use Wire? Its interface annoys me but I was under the impression it's E2E is pretty good and the source code is publicly available?
