I'm not sure what was unclear about my summary of what Signal is doing. Here, let me put it differently for you:

Signal's goal is to make all the messaging in the world that currently uses phone numbers as identifiers --- which, by a long ways, is most messaging in the world --- cryptographically secure.

Hope that helps. You are welcome to have and to advocate for different goals. Please don't pretend your goals are Signal's, though.
