So before you can message anyone you have to download whatsapp?
You make that sound like a threshold. Old people, for instance, are literally buying Smartphones just so that they can participate in “the WhatsApp.” They wouldn’t give a fuck if something else was pre-installed.
Regarding committing your sensitive private chats to either Apple or Facebook, I agree it’s an issue and fwiw I’m personally using neither. But seeing that one is restricted to a device, a premium one no less, and people are basing social contacts on what color their bubbles have and 87% of kids have iPhones due to social pressure, I am very glad that in Europe we opted for the lesser evil, which is clearly WhatsApp.
