Signal originally marketed itself as an application to replace sms texting. People put more personal information into their sms chats than they do into a discord chat or email typically. Every other chat application I use on the desktop has the option to log out.
I'm not going to argue the justification for this functionality with you all any more, and it is a little strange and suspicious that there are so many of you all opposed to a simple option being added to an app. It's a little insulting that you and other commenters think that multiple accounts on a computer and locking a computer with a keyboard shortcut are novel concepts that need to be explained.
If anyone is reading this who would like to help me instead of arguing against the implementation, my email is in my profile.
If you want the functionality inside Signal, then only the Signsl devs will be able to help you. If you want a solution outside from that, look into desktop environments that have a feature to lock a specific app. Or use multiple accounts. That is what it's designed for I would say.
