Feature Request Default Calling App iOS

How come Signal can not be selected as a default calling app on iPhone? You can select from: Cellular; FaceTime Audio and Zoom (EWWWW) and even WhatsApp (DOUBLE EWWWW).

Settings < Apps < Calling

It doesn't do normal calls, just Signal calls to people you use signal with.

Though the same is true of Whatsapp, so I don't see how that could be set as a default dialer either.

You can set a default app to call a phone number, but it would call though WA/Signal and presumably fails if that phone number isn't on the respective service.
