"Knowing they're accidentally sending images to the wrong people is a HUGE, priority 1 problem."
It is. But I have no insight in all the other problems and bugs they have. Do you? There is never a guarantee of total safety. So focusing all the ressources on one problem that happens extremeley rarely and miss out a bigger problem, that affects millions? But I don't know if this was the case here. Might also be neglect or not wanting to spread the image of Signal as being non-secure, while in a path of growth.
