both could log ip addresses and payment info, meta infos like who you message with, both do key management, only saves this stuff and then has to give it to the feds

Email headers need to be unencrypted, unless they had a proprietary "almost like email but not interoperable" protocol. Signal doesn't have payment info for most users because it's free to use, but for donations they need to store payment data too.

I work in digital forensics specifically with emails, and this is not how the email protocol works

Signal and email are 2 different things, completely different

Yes, both can, but both are not necessary, only 1 is.
