Am I tripping or if you upgrade Signal Desktop, it saves all your messages in plain text (messages.json) + attachments locally so you can re-import them in the newer version? #fail #wtf

The point is that in one case, you're defending against a theoretically unlimited nation-state like adversary, and in the other you're defending against a more average attacker who might not even control a keylogger.
If you think it takes a "nation-state like adversary" to pull an encryption key from another process's memory (the best case scehario you can hope to achieve) you haven't seen what kids do to cheat in games these days. Or 15 years ago for that matter.

I guess you're implying that since signal only encrypts backups, the window of opportunity to steal keys stored in memory for those backups is narrower since they won't be accessed often. Whether that holds true depends on what Signal encrypts it's backups with.
