When it comes to practical cryptography, nobody is doing signing parties anyway. It's all TOFU unless someone forces people's hands, and when you force people to do security you can assume they won't bother checking if the QR code they're scanning is coming from a real app or a livestream of someone else's app, they just want to get the scanning done. The whole key scan thing is probably only of any use to people keeping contact after meeting with journalists.

That's all OK as far as it goes, but the root problem here is that a typical Signal user is made aware of none of this. Sure it's legit to take convenience over security, but it is not OK to leave this tradeoff completely unknown to the people affected.
