Good point and I agree it's less sensitive.

But to avoid minimizing it, there is a scenario I've heard where it matters: crazy ex-boyfriend discovers you're using a new messaging service, just because he still has your phone number in his contacts.

Ideally, nobody should know you're using a new messaging service unless you've given explicit consent to share that info with them.
