This could be changed to be an option (at restore time or runtime) but I'm unsure what the results will be when this is really needed for groups v2. It might screw up groups v2 and syncing to desktop, where the pin is required for: https://community.signalusers.org/t/beta-feedback-for-the-upcoming-android-4-59-release/13409/108

Therefore I'm not willing to make such big changes in the way Signal works. Of course, if you want to compile a version for yourself with these changes I have no objection.
