Tor is very easy to block, and relies on very similar proxies to circumvent that.

You probably haven't followed Tor development in the past years. obfs4 and snowflake a really cool circumvention methods that are orders of magnitude harder to detect and block than these "signal" TLS proxies.
The TLS proxy signal just advertised uses plaintext TLS SNI header to determine where to route the packets, which makes it really trivial to detect and/or block. The same cannot be said about tor.
