Agreed 100%. So I think signal matches most people's threat models, so it's still great to recommend to people.

If you were running some countries internal messaging service for diplomats. You might use signal, but you'd have to mirror the infrastructure to completely host it. And then probably add your own ciphers on top.

All down to the threat model.
