not true at all, in practice you have repressive regimes easily blocking Signal, plus, even if you used a VPN it is trivial for them to block the SMS code Signal sends to you since the national telecoms are also controlled by them
also as it has already happened when there is a problem in Amazon servers then Signal is affected, with alternatives like ArcaneChat you can even use several servers in different parts of the world at the same time in a single profile
