Alright, based on my limited understanding of internets, an honest question:
A lot of internet communication, like websites and e-mail, is done through open protocols. Anyone can build an app, adhere to the protocol and communicate with other people regardless of what app they’re using on the other end.
ie: you’re on Gmail, I’m on Proton.
We’ve had chat apps for the better part of 15 years by now. How come there’s still all these walled gardens, and why the fuck can’t I Whatsapp someone from Signal?!

Thats a great, point, I haven't even thought of it. There probably was some sort of proposal out but, it just didn't win. And now they are so different, with all the technical directions each have taken... probably too far apart to realistically do it anymore. That would be very cool though.
If I could choose to just use signal for everyone, even if they were on different apps.
