It's infinitely harder to make anonymous one-off/throwaway Signal accounts, so they have different use cases for me. I have one phone number, so I only have one Signal account with my real name on it to talk to my friends and family. If I want to privately message someone who I'm not quite sure I can trust with my identity there's no way in hell I'm giving them my Signal.

Agreed, it's great that session doesn't require a phone number. But what channel do you use to share session IDs? I only use session to talk to people I can validate their identity face to face. You risk a MITM attack if you share the ID over an insecure channel.
