Isnt one of the main points of good cryptography to have the message already be indistinguishable from noise? Just build up enough entropy that it seems like noise unless you have the proper key.

In my mind it’s best to do:
Data->compress->encrypt->steganography
Not saying steg is bad and cryptography is good, just that I don’t quite see how encrypting the data properly in the first place such that it shows up as some random distribution before embedding it with steganography is a wildly new concept.
If the distribution of encrypted data is that of noise, the image would just appear slightly noisy, especially if doing least significant bit shenanigans
