is Wire still around and does somebody know if it's good? I remember reading about it because it used Haskell but I never tried it out.

I used it and found it excellent, fully featured (chat/voice/video), use phone or email as identifier, and supported on all devices (iOS, Android, Mac, Win, Linux).

I don't understand why it didn't take off - seems like a modern version of Betamax/VHS to me.

They can't even be bothered to do 2FA

Signal requires a PIN and an SMS code. WhatsApp has the option to add a password in addition to the SMS code. There are probably others.
