It's pretty difficult to fully scrub yourself of the metadata involved in making a connection to a server. For sure it can be minimized, like Signal does. But this has inherent UX tradeoffs that most people are not willing to make, like requiring you share your phone number to use the service, and not having server-based backup (yet, at least).

It was once difficult for me to communicate with you, me being a stranger to you and you being the same, having never met in person. But here we are. We are all experts at solving difficult problems & giving access to those solutions to everyone.
