I don't really see what the app store has to do with Signal - it's just a way of distributing it. It's not like you need the app store to avoid compiling it - there are other avenues. The risk for them is they or their servers come under some pressure from the US Law Enforcement Agencies. Given their programmers and servers are based in the US, that seems like it could be a real risk. Withdrawing from that would involve moving themselves and presumably families out of the US. It sounds like an almost impossible ask.
