Signal impersonation risk?
Session's reasoning seems much more... cagey. Telling people to recreate their identities themselves sounds a little like the Threema stopgap solution, but it's much sloppier (I can't imagine end users WANT to recreate their account and communicate this to all their contacts via a third party). They're talking about implementing this eventually, but the ticket for doing so was closed right after saying this.

Daily General Discussion - February 22, 2023
Berty is an open source, secure, private, censorship resilient messaging protocol. Berty is designed to work with NO internet connection. Thanks to Bluetooth LE and mDNS, messages can be securely and privately relayed, peer to peer to create an adhoc network. Of course old fashioned networks still work, and if you’re connected to a “hostile” network that’s being surveilled, the Berty protocol can still operate safely and securely thanks to e2e encryption. Super nice!
