I was referring to the "no account creation required" and given how other online services seem to be doing fine with accounts I don't think it is as big of a hurdle as you make it seem.

Of course automatic discovery of accounts based on phone numbers is a different topic, but there are also plenty of people who hate that feature (Telegram has a special feature to not allow that even).
