I agree with you. But that doesn't change the fact that there are non technical people who are using Signal in places where they believe it will protect them.

I agree with you. But that doesn't change the fact that there are non technical people who are using Signal in places where they believe it will protect them. And I am not cynical enough to be ready to say that they are not being protected in some way by using Signal rather than say email/telegram/whatsapp/facebook etc. But the points you raise stand, and I agree. I would never use Signal for things that are highly sensitive. But we are tech literate individuals. We are a wast minority.
