Jumping through hoops to access the service is not the only problem with centralized services. Here's another problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_censorship_of_Telegram_Messenger
There are almost 1000 people in the P2P marketplace group & daily listings, as well as other good Bitcoin-related channels, so it may be useful
Indeed, the worse the platform, the more users it has. I bet you can get even more people on Facebook and Discord.
It's possible to access Telegram via Tor (e.g. in-app proxy settings, Orbot or use Anbox in Whonix Workstation).
Signal has the same problems (phone number requirement & even more difficult to access without a phone: https://anarkio.codeberg.page/#/7560cf4a7685/11). Didn't test if Briar/Session work in Whonix yet.
Otherwise there is a (less active) P2P marketplace in Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#cryptomarketplace:matrix.org
