You forgot the part where joining signal "conveniently" discloses that to everyone - with no way to opt out(!).

Also, everyone not sharing their contacts with the signal app already have that UX. Minus the privacy benefits of course.

Signal has always prioritized message security and integrity over anonymity. If you want anonymity, Signal is not, has not, and probably never will be the tool for you.

Huge difference between having a low profile and actively advertising out new registrations. Does not sit well with any conceivable notion of privacy. Which supposedly is one of their strongpoints.
