What pushed me away from Signal, after advocating for it for years (in fact deleting WhatsApp for more than a year; WhatsApp IS messaging in my country. Period), trying to get friends and family on it, is that Signal really doesn’t care. It doesn’t care how people will easily use it, like it. When there were issues like endless notification hell for cross platform connections they were busy doing crypto. They talked about ID and it’s nowhere to be seen. Messages delays, non-delivery were widespread issues and there were not even a comment by Signal staff, not a KB article. Also the amount of hostility and derision they show to their own users and possible contributors at places like Github is what finally did it for me. At this point I have no patience left for Signal and after years my friends and contacts were pleasantly surprised to find me back on WhatsApp as the primary messaging app. Many of them had signal just to communicate with me that they uninstalled. Most of them really tried using it (trying to convince their own circle) and found it essentially unusable compared to WhatsApp and Telegram.
