> But people should use Signal instead of PGP for message encryption.

I won't disagree; when your usecase is in Signal's wheelhouse, by all means, use it.

But as someone who uses PGP regularly; the limit of how I could use Signal instead of PGP is limited to the occasional transfer of PII, passphrases, and private keys (something I couldn't use Signal for, since these are typically sent between GUI-less hosts). A very tiny fraction of my PGP usage.
