Signal's use case is "authentic communication". like when a govt person interacts with other govt person and doesn't want a second govt to snoop on the actual contents on the communication, but accepts that metadata is public.

It is whatsapp for such people, without being whatsapp.

But then why would you use whatsapp either ?

phone number isn't just any metadata; it is the anchoring data around which the rest of metadata is collected, and it is also connected to govt/corporate verified real identity.

why would anyone even claim to offer privacy around such an anchor ?

Not to mention, they're a multi-billion dollar company, don't make excuses for them.

They pay someone handsomely to make excuses for them.

For an entity hat already has monopoly over violence, how difficult is it to claim monopoly over the collective will?
