Maybe it's not about gaining something, but rather about not losing anything. Signal seems to operate from a kind of activism mindset, prioritizing privacy, security, and ethical responsibility, right? By warning about agentic AI, they’re not necessarily seeking a direct benefit. Or maybe the benefit is appearing more genuine and principled, which already attracted their userbase in the first place.

Exactly, if the masses cease to have "computers" any more (deterministic boxes solely under the user's control), then it matters little how bulletproof signal's ratchet protocol is, sadly.
