Maybe I need to expand the pool of sites I frequent. Any recommendations?

I think you are confusing soulless with dead. It's more alive than ever yes but it has become monotonous. The original feeling of individuality of websites has been reduced to the monotonity you see when you visit different websites. For example, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram or even their federated alternatives like Mastodon and Lemmy (I haven't used Pixelfed) are designed in a similar way to that users feel familiar and don't get turned off from using the website. This is just one example I can think of now.
I would add Digilocker as well. Completed removed my need for a wallet. But it's not as great as these 2
UPI is the best mode of payment. I doubt anyone can change my mind.
Why do you want them to switch from Signal? Federation? Other than that Signal's great. Idk specifically about Signal bridge but I'm in a room with Telegram and IRC bridged and both bridges work pretty well. The room was bridged to XMPP as well but XMPP bridge was weird (resent random messages sometimes) so we removed it. Give it a try though and if possible tell me how it works? I'm curious :p
What did you find confusing about Element? The most confusing part for most people is the federation but since you're on Lemmy, I assume that's not the case for you.
You should read about EU's proposed law DMA. It aims to solve this problem of not being able to contact friends if you uninstall WhatsApp (or any other app). The link explains it better lol
I checked network logs. Apparently my bank encrypts both uid and password before sending. I put 8 chars and it gave error so I'm assuming no
Banks make the worst possible UI and justify it by saying "security" xD
