First, that's completely unrelated to the very concept of MITM. Second, it also shows that you have no clue about how such protocols work (in Signal, in SimpleX, or anywhere else). I really don't understand why people who are really into secure messengers often don't really care about how they actually work... I mean it is damn interesting!
