Why do you think security experts don’t rave about SimpleX and it’s unique architecture. They claim to have all this amazing stuff going on, unidirectional message cues, no identifiers, self-hostable etc. but it’s not acknowledged as "the messenger".

By way of comparison, Qubes is not widely used, but it definitely is widely accepted as the most secure distro. Why is this recognition not the same with SimpleX? Do you think it’s the most secure messenger, or does it hype itself a bit too much?

GrapheneOS mentions them and Signal when talking about messengers.

It’s not widely regarded as the gold standard though. I would say Signal currently has that title.
