There was & may still be a lot of anger towards WhatsApp. It was only after it became the de facto messaging app for most of the world that it became a FB property, so I think people felt either betrayed, hoodwinked, or simply trapped without a good exit. Compare to FB Messenger, which was always a FB product from day one, so you always knew what you were getting.

What you say makes sense, In any case, I am glad WhatsApp founder put some money into Signal, he's done an amazing job and deserves all the money.

I am from another side of messagers, as Viber concured Easter Europe - Telegram seemed like an obvious choice after VK got stolen from Durov. Signal was not that popular, that's why I did not start migration earlier
