So, this is yet another messenger that just splits the user base even further, leading to even less people moving away from the WhatsApp? Or did I get it wrong? Why not just use Signal?

You/users have a choise. Use privacy invasive chat apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, etc for free or invest some time and/or money to self-host it or use their SaaS option. Either way, you’re far better than using WhatsApp. Signal is a very good option.
If you “don’t care about privacy because if have nothing to hide”, I recommend reading Means of Control by Byron Tau or just watch what ICE is doing with all the data Palantir is offering.

No no, I use Signal and it was difficult enough to get friends and family over. Many didn’t. But Signal has been the only messenger with enough pull.
