That argument might have had something to stand on if:
1. Users were properly informed
2. Users were given the option to opt-out
And please don't pretend being annoyed about not being able to write third party client is in the same realm, that is just disingenuous.
I'm pretty comfortable with how sturdy my argument is, but that doesn't mean I think you have to agree with it.
I'm interested to know how you believe basic honesty (1) or choice (2) would violate Signals goals, or impact them negatively.
And I'm not talking about something obnoxious like a cookie-banner here, something in the fine-print would go a long way.
