I use the apps my friends use but it gets tiring to keep up with so many.

I use telegram mostly because it have great features and its certainly better than any meta apps in privacy and private enough imo. It was easy to get my friends and family on telegram because they loved those features, signal is just... boring.
Wdym "boring", what do you want a messenger app to do? It does what it's there for and it does it well.
Sure, but we have to consider what other people wants too, and if they are getting alot of feature in a single app without any big compromise, they would prefer that and thats perfectly logical.
From my experience of getting other people on Signal, the main issue is that not everyone is already on it. People generally want to use only one app and it attracts them to the most popular one because they don't need to switch as much.
Secondary issues are:
I might add another one, but it applies to WhatsApp too - it's crazy that there's still no easy way to move between iOS and Android...
OTOH telegram gives you option to export your whatsapp chats there making migration a bit more convenient. For the last point, yeah it sucks a lot and fuck whoever is responsible for that...
