That's not a forgone conclusion. Maybe it is for Signal, but not for chat overall. There's this thing called Tor. If you're careful, you can remain anonymous. And there's the new onion routing network Loki, which backs the Session chat app.
If things got bad enough, there are more robust options. I can imagine a botnet that spread much like WannaCry, and which offered deniable messaging via covert channels. Data transmissions would be hard to detect, and running the network components would be deniable.
