This criticism applies equally to every piece of software you haven't written yourself. You have to trust someone at some point. OWS has demonstrated that they are more trustworthy than their competitors.

Sure, but the ease of someone abusing this is far greater than what we've been using before.

Can you honestly say that you trust signal over locally or even airgapped pgp'd text?

Nope! But they solve two completely different problems. And the metadata with Signal is actually much better than PGP+email. Have you looked at email headers recently?
