Not really, there's basically a single sub-market in the US market where that is the norm.

I like the idea. But I’m pretty happy with Signal. Signal does require a phone number I think, but otherwise seems very similar.

Grounding identity in a phone number is very reasonable for almost all normal usage. It makes recovery simple. It does block the ultra paranoid use cases though. Oh well.

Within the US, it's far more common than you think. That's typical senior dev money in a large company in cities like St Louis or KC. What is rare outside of the biggest markets is the whole "enough RSUs to double your salary" thing.

That salary is not unheard of at all in London. Especially when you convert £ to $.
