I don't really see them "fighting" anything? They've made a decision that they want to build a centralised service, and as far as I can see they've been pretty open about why they want that and quite happy running a centralised service. Are they going round trying to convince other people to choose against decentralization in their systems?>
If anything, the "fighting" here seems to be from people who really really care about decentralization and really wish Signal would just adopt their value system and do what they want, as though it's some sort of objective good.
> They force their own threat model on me. It makes me suspicious, again.
This is true for literally every company running any service you use. The people who pay for, design, engineer and run a service "forces" their threat modelling, feature prioritisation, colour scheme etc. on you. If you're suspicious about it or don't like it, simply stop using it.

For a while moxie would show up in every matrix topic to talk about "But matrix is federated and federation is slow moving and therefore bad". The most commonly quoted argument against decentralisation is hosted on signal.org: https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/ https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/
