Sheesh, the US is sure getting scary. Well, it's a good thing it would be impossible to trace Signal to someone via metadata like a phone number, right?

What evidence do you have that Signal collects anything? Traffic logs from the app or something?
It uses a phone number.
Phone numbers havent been required for at least like a year or so
Do they let you sign up purely with username and password? Or do they make you use insecure email?
That isn’t true. You still need a phone number to sign up.
