A more accurate title could be “Privacy is Priceless, but Centralization is Expensive”: with the era of cheap money coming to an end, grows a lot of uncertainty regarding the future of some large internet services. Signal is no exception and this emphasises the importance of federated alternatives (XMPP, fediverse, …) for the good health of the future internet.

E.g. SMS isn't secure, but it is free as it uses downtime in overhead cell channels.

Decentralization is expensive too judging by some of the sentiment I’ve seen around running Mastodon and Lemmy/Kbin instances.

Right? People simply expect someone else to pay the bills.

At some point society needs to figure out how we can subsidize the costs of data storage, remote servers, and provision of internet to people for free.
