Losing Signal
Its for those who reject Meta. No one else. People who want to disconnect from the surveillance-advertisement network of Meta. Remember that Meta likely uses your Whatsapp contacts web for its advertisements elsewhere. Signal does not.

Signal does not uses your contacts web elsewhere, that you know of.

Signal has less incentive and ability to do so than Facebook/Meta, so all else being equal, the former still deserves more trust.

That doesn't match what tptacek said though - it seems like Signal wants to be bigger while refusing to actually be better as a product.
