Following the conversation down, it sounds like what you're really saying is that Signal stores sensitive information encrypted with PIN+SGX, which is controversial. And maybe you have a good argument for why it's bad (and I'm uneasy with it myself). But I think people don't like that you made the assumption for them that PIN+SGX is bad.

I think we should all agree that outright lying to users on the very first line of their privacy policy page is totally unacceptable.
