Signal is so much worse than WhatsApp from a UX perspective. Backup sync forces you to allow background permissions (WhatsApp doesn't), you have to set and get nagged to enter a PIN every few weeks (WhatsApp doesn't), there's no transcription for audio messages (WhatsApp has that for some languages), the desktop app loses its connection if you don't open it ever few weeks (WhatsApp works fine), etc.
If you want people to switch, recommend Telegram.

Why would people switch from always-end-to-end encrypted group chats to never-end-to-end encrypted group chats?
Because they don't even know what e2e encryption is.
Yes. Let's switch to an app with Russian connections that has actively refused to implement E2EE for over a decade now.
Russian connections is FUD and Telegram has E2EE encryption, but not by default.
Said E2EE is mobile only and completely unavailable in group chats

My circle switched to Signal because we are concerned about tech bros and a fascist America.
Boosting Russia is not the solution.
Telegram is not Russian. In fact Putin hates Pavel Durov.
