Using signal for SMS was never a good idea. It may give users a false sense of security. And as far as I remember signal dropped SMS before google rolled out RCS. If apple agrees to implement RCS then I could see Signal adding this feature back.
Using Signal for SMS was one of the only good ways to convince the masses to switch in the first place. It was blatantly obvious which messages were secure or not since they were labeled as such.
Then:
“Hey, you should use Signal for SMS. Our conversations will be encrypted and you can still text Grandma.”
Now: Grandma uses FB Messenger, tied to her SMS also.
