I remember a time when visiting a website that opens a javacript dialog box asking for your name so the message “hi <name entered>” could be displayed was baulked at.

Why does signal want a phone number to register? Is there a better alternative?

    Yes it is. Signal isnt PGP email. A lot of work went into protecting metadata.
