The problem is not that I’m not using signal (I am), its that I also have to use telegram and\or whatsapp if I want to contact anyone without sending them an sms, or a pigeon.
So all this bloat still affects me, whether I “just use signal” or not.
I’m not sure what part of the world you’re in, so maybe there is a societal difference here, but last I checked, if you’re running a business, it’s not only run on chat apps. There are other venues to contact businesses to schedule things…

Central Asia, businesses here do not have websites. They put a listing on aggregators with a phone number and may be an instagram account.
Well sounds like a phone number is another option…
And make a call like a psycho? No thanks, Telegram it is (actually OP here is quite lucky, in my town it would be WhatsApp or Messenger only…).
Sure, if I want to pay per message/call. I could also hire a butler to do all my chores for me, alas I am not a Swedish royalty.
