Probably his stance is not as aggressive as everyone thinks. I think he is fine with frontends, but not server federation stuff. Maybe I could be wrong, but that is an explanation that I could think of.
I think his main issue was re-distributing a recompiled version of the official Signal client but he got a bit carried away when arguing. So I guess as long as there is no chance that a 3rd party client is mistaken for the official one, it is being tolerated for now.
