alienate a large number of users by removing SMS

Would you mind elaborating on this?

SMS in Signal was never secure (it's SMS), and so it was removed. Now I have private messaging in Signal, and if some one sends me an SMS, it shows up in my stock texting app. No false sense of security and it's very easy to use 2 apps.
