Security is something which only makes sense in relation to an attacker model. Only after you specified that, then we can discuss if something is secure or not.
Signal is not secure if the NSA is after you. Signal is secure if your Chinese competitor is after your business data. Signal is secure if you are a journalist in Turkey.
