You can care about privacy, or you can ask a phone number during sign up. Those things are mutually exclusive.
Don't use Signal you care about privacy.

I can almost exclusively chat with my social circle with signal now, been using it since 8-9 years.
I've tried xmpp, matrix and some other. Signal is the only one that stuck, it's not perfect but it's fucking fine from my perspective.

You're conflating privacy with anonymity. Signal is not anonymous, but it is private.
