Will only ever happen once Signal ditches their dependency on mobile phone number.

I don't see how the two are related? They've already got a Desktop client.

Doesn't whatsapp also rely on the phone number as Id? Why can they have a desktop and browser client?

The Desktop Client is only functional when you "pair" it to your phone client.

E2E in a browser client is always questionable, I doubt Signal is ever going to add one.

Right, and they could do the same for the web client, so I don't see how the phone number requirement would prevent them from creating one.

Browser WhatsApp works through a connection to the phone, and not directly to servers. If your phone is off, Web WhatsApp doesn't work.
