That ‘all the time’ is the operative factor. I imagine unless every instance set up by anyone comes with E2EE enabled by default with private messages, Signal will always remain superior. But yes, people should still only resort to Signal. I only think Mastodon E2EE DMs even by default in the future will be used in a pinch if Signal app is not available or if the web platform is the only thing one can get access to.
