Signal is simply just better than whatsapp, and I don't think starbucks would be affected. I guess Apple could OTA brick iphones though, true.

Imagine if you could open up your own Starbucks anywhere in the EU, including using logos etc. without having to deal with franchising from an American company.

Why would you want to advertise that you have worse coffee than everyone else.

I don't drink coffee, so I can't speak for its quality, but my understanding is that Starbucks is pretty popular.

Signal has better privacy and that's why I'm using it, but that's where the advantages end. It's far less reliable. Most people are using WhatsApp.
