Do you not see any difference with this and "it's included in the distribution and vetted by a distribution developer"?

No. The way I see it, I'm downloading an open-source, *always* end-to-end encrypted desktop-application Signal from official repository, instead of downloading an open-source *never* end-to-end encrypted desktop-application Telegram from official repository. Having to add the ppa is 10 seconds of additional trouble. I'll live. Without end-to-end encryption, a lot of dissidents however, might not.
10 seconds of additional trouble, a lifetime of root access to a 3rd party :)
What? You have factual evidence Signal's apt repo is installing rootkits to people's computers? Let's see it.
