The fact that Signal requires a phone number is annoying, but I understand the decision. It remove many barriers to use.
Unlike other messaging apps, users don't have to understand they they have an account, don't need a password, etc. Contact discovery is also much simpler, no need to maintain a separate contact list for Signal. So install Signal and can immediately send encrypted texts to any other Signal user. This simplicity is why it's so popular
