WhatsApp gives users an ultimatum: Share data with FB or stop using the app
That's a good point. Threema using standard libsodium cryptoboxes (iirc) makes this easier to integrate with than these Axolotl-like protocols, though Threema still uses a custom protocol to communicate chat messages so you'll have to implement that. Also, Wire has a bot API so you don't need to pretend to be a real client to integrate in a chat. https://github.com/wireapp/lithium/wiki
Afaik Signal doesn't have that, there only seem to be third party implementations for bots.

> They could at least BSL the server code and allow others to verify the server code and host but not compete.
This is exactly what they do (except they use AGPL): https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server

‘I will show you how safe Telegram is’
The fact that it locks you into using their servers, does not distribute on F-Droid (only Google Play OR an APK with an insecure update mechanism), and has a completely closed-source "abusive message filter" module server side, that could functionally be used for censorship, storing messages for future decryption, or any other number of nefarious purposes - we have no idea since it's not open source (https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/blob/main/.gitmod...).
Additionally, you cannot distribute branded forks or Signal, and if you do fork it, your fork is not allowed to connect to Signal's "official" OWS (open whisper systems) servers - hostility to federation should be viewed with prejudice and suspicion at the very least, it suggests a vested interest in a single point of failure (or control), which goes against user interests.

"The Signal client is built non-reproducibly, so you actually don't know whether it's running the source code available on Github."
It’s actually the signal server that isn’t reproducible because of the abusive message filter that’s in a private repository. It’s clear as day here: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server
