My privacy journey -thanks to this and r/privacy sub AND how can I make it better
That's somewhat telling and can be used to "track" you, consider reading on non-Reddit privsec learning resources like Privacy Guides itself which you already know, PrivSec.Dev, madaidan's Insecurities and the like.

super secure phone with vpn
Considering the offer is legitimate (something I won't comment on), you shouldn't do most of these things, in my opinion. Don't mess with what'll be other people's phones. Sell them Pixels pre-installed with GrapheneOS and print papers with Auditor attestation instructions and maybe a few QR codes directing them to relevant documentation and privsec learning resources, such as the GrapheneOS documentation first and foremost, Privacy Guides, madaidan's Insecurities, PrivSec.dev, Seirdy's Home, Wonderfall's Lab, etc...

The xz sshd backdoor rabbithole goes quite a bit deeper
Moxie's reasons for disallowing Signal distribution via F-droid always rang a little flat to me ( https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/127 ). Lots of chatter about the supposedly superior security model of Google Play Store, and as a result fewer eyes independently building and testing the Signal code base. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but independent and reproducible builds seem like a net positive for everyone. Always struggled to understand releasing code as open source without taking advantage of the community's willingness to build and test. Looking at it in a new light after the XZ backdoor, and Jia Tan's interactions with other FOSS folk.

Signal v7.0.0 with phone number privacy
There's nothing on Signal blog as of yet, but Signal's git repository was tagged with v7.0.0 yesterday and we can see from the commit history since the previously tagged version (v6.74.4) that there will be a setting to hide one's phone number [1], as well as disabling the previous default behavior of advertising that one is on Signal to all their contacts already using it [2].

What are you shocked people are still doing nowadays?
Signal works the same but without the user tracking from Meta/Facebook. Many people use it as well but I'm surprised that a majority sticks to WhatsApp.

Apple Just Confirmed Governments Are Spying on People’s Phones With Push Notifications
Sadly yes: Looks like an open issue 13290 for Signal, sounds like they were/are indeed still interacting through google's push notification service, wat, and per a link at that issue it was a chore for Tutanota to break away once they realised it was a problem some years ago (though at least they thought about it years ago? wtf Signal...)
