If your threat model involves NSA finding out who is talking to you, PGP literally doesn't help you at all: it doesn't protect metadata.

Just to be clear I’m not advocating for PGP at almost any point in time, especially not in 2024.

Ok, sure! Just: this is a thread about why WhatsApp and Signal are so much more successful than PGP, and the argument given was that they sacrificed security to get their popularity. No, that's not it.
