I dont use Signal myself so I’m not inclined to put in the work for that but just wanted to point out that given what you said and the fact that Signal is open source [0] it should then be possible to figure out how they do transfers and adapt that code in order to sync data from Signal on iOS onto your computer. Unless it ties into some feature of iOS itself that provides data transfer between phones in which case it will be more difficult to work out.

• signal-export

  Export your Signal chats to markdown files with attachments

It's super hacky but this [0] bit of code I adapted from some other hacky code will let you export to MarkDown/HTML. No hope of getting the messages back on my phone, but at least I have an archive of messages and media.

Signal is not an open alternative.

It's not federated, but most importantly, they don't allow 3rd party clients:

So you are stuck with their Electron junk without any options.

Matrix should be promoted as an open alternative instead.
