Why even do this in the first place, when Matrix Bridges have been a thing for ages now?
(Note: I don't like Matrix Bridges either, they're problematic in their own right)
pretty sure sunbird claimed they were able to get thousands of apple IDs to be able to work on one mac, which is something matrix bridge based iMessage solutions like Beeper don't do
whether they're actually being truthful about that, i would personally doubt it
Which is precisely what makes Matrix the better option for this, albeit still not great
for a mass market solution though, that's not scalable at all, even if you try to get the cheapest, used macs possible so I can see why sunbird would claim to do this
