Official Viber Response: "Your feedback will be considered as our teams work on upcoming versions. I’ll be closing this ticket, but feel free to reply to me with any further suggestions." [Case: #4641960]
Further Retest Results in 2020: Viber has completely rewritten their API, as documented here, Viber.com: Deep Links. Further retesting reveals that both the old API and the brand-new API are still broken and inoperable.
