I've set Signal to auto-delete old messages. This is like SMS and IRC not an archive.
When I want to save something from a conversation in Signal (or slack or email), I copy it out and store it. Signal does not block you accessing your data.
In addition you actually do have an import/export function for your messages if you're on android [1].
