Are chats synced with the mobile and desktop clients?
Session messenger allows you to chat without linking a phone number to your account. It’s what drug dealers use lol.
Same for simplex 🫠
What really bothers me about Session is that you effectively cannot selfhost - hosting a node is prohibitively expensive. So seems like the only people who can realistically host a node are crypto bros, big companies and government agencies. Thanks, I would rather stick with IRC/XMPP/Matrix.

Simple answer to the question so far as I can see: in order to connect with someone, you have to video conference with them and show them a code. So the anonymity is only as anonymous as the video conference you use to do that. All of the benefits it claims are merely an illusion.
Just send them the code. It's okay if the channel over which they the receive the code is insecure
