It's a compromise on anonymity, not privacy. But I agree with it, it's a compromise on anonymity because it avoids having to use another identifier and another social graph. My entire extended family uses Signal, and I didn't even onboard them, my 69 year old mother (a retired special education teacher) did, because it uses your existing contact list to message people. I didn't need to walk people through account creation, we didn't need to exchange usernames. Even my 92 year old grandfather was able to get Signal to work. He's not great at typing on a smartphone, but he's figured out video calling, opening pictures, and voice memos. I think that's a decent audience to shoot for.
