People for whom it's a threat don't necessarily understand anonymizing proxies - very few do. Signal is supposed to provide security for those who do not.
Where does Signal claim that, or who decides what they're "supposed" to provide?
If wishes had wings, sheep would fly. People who want their computer to do a certain thing can also be expected to do a quick web search for how to make it do said thing. E.g.: hiding location? Use onion routing. Signal doesn't claim to hide your country (heck, they require your phone number!) so it seems wishful thinking to say they should have included e.g. a Tor client and enabled it by default
