Is country what decides the services you use? Thatâs pretty shallow

yes, perhaps you would be the wary one if Signal were run in China or Russia??? Besides the point here is that is impossible to be resilient and have control over your server with Signal, with Delta Chat you can self-host, or use a local provider in your country, companies can have their own independent server etc. also not needing phone numbers is a big plus

You can self host Signal. github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server

tell me how many people are doing it??? do you realize after setting up your server you also need to create a custom app that uses your server and publish that to all stores???
besides self-hosting Signal is much more expensive than self-hosting Delta Chat, MUCH MORE, and in the end you can not federate with other instances so it is a pain in the back, you would need an app for every instance and group of people you interact with, plain nonsense
