i never said you shouldn't ever trust anything. I personally do trust mullvad. I've been using it for over a decade. I'm just not in denial over the fact that there is trust required. Second of all, aside from signal which I have superficially played around with, I don't and have never used any of those services you mentioned and they have absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand so maybe you can tell me why you brought them into this conversation?
