In short: Signal uses DRM to prevent Windows Recall (spyware) from capturing what's inside the app. It's similar to how Netflix prevents piracy.

That's an interesting use-case of web DRM.

There are other details in the article, for example about Recall forces users to use biometrics to then permit them to authenticate using a PIN code. That's an interesting observation.
