I think these are fair points. I'll mention that I predominately use the desktop client and it works well since I frequently leave my phone somewhere else. But doesn't seem like a right fit for you until usernames and multiple device signup. Both are in the works though so maybe good for you in the future but not now.

If you don't have your phone with you, you can't sign in. Some services, like Whatsapp, will not work if your phone is turned off/broken

In my experience the desktop client is slow, buggy, and takes eons to start up. There's also no web version, making it awkward to use on computers other than your own.

I would be more willing to switch over to Signal if it wasn't so lacking in this regard.
