Their architecture is incredible, but I do agree that bringing people over is difficult. Scanning QR codes or clicking links to add someone as a friend on a social network is strange. On Discord, links are basically vectors for attacks, and avoiding them is good practice.
Still waiting for Delta to implement forward secrecy, which would require PGP to implement it first, if I understand correctly.
As far as i know they use autocrypt Which I think includes pgp. Maybe its the dependency on pgp but basically there is work on autocrypt to Support pfs.
BTW until quite recently Signal didnt have pfs either although its hailed as one of the pinnacles of private and secure messaging
deltachat!
For most people, signal is the first step.
it was hard enough persuading people to talk to me on signal rather than FB messenger/whatsapp etc

Signal has had proper PFS for a long while - since 2013 or so. The double ratchet algorithm was a huge deal!
