Then you have just broken forward and backward secrecy: Attackers can use that feature to reassemble the ratchet state and decrypt all your messages, past and future.

They can only see message history as far as the linked device allows and can't see future messages if the device unlinks. I don't know the exact details how Signal does this, but I don't think its forward and backward secrecy is broken because of the feature.
