I'm guessing you've never seen Telegram? It looks like a modern messaging system.
This is a screenshot: https://dribbble.com/shots/12242096-Telegram-Messenger-Free-Download
While Signal looks like any generic SMS app. Heck, both NextSMS and Textra look as good/better and have more "features" (interface customization).
As a technical person who cares more about functionality that stuff doesn't matter much to me, but it's easy to see how a typical user would perceive them (and honestly, the difference is so great it even affects me).
Signal looks dated, like SMS, Telegram looks (and behaves) modern.
That doesn't appear to be a screenshot of Telegram, but of a designer's portfolio piece example redesign of Telegram.
It doesn't look anything like Telegram for Android, though a quick look at real screenshots suggests it's more similar to Telegram for iOS.
