It's interesting how people turn into such app misers when it comes to messengers. It's upsetting to have multiple different ones, even though they don't eat up disk space.

Some are very loyal to the Zuckerberg offerings. They ride or die with the Zuckster.

It's because each app is stealing your data on your phone - personal life, financial things going across your phone.

Most of them have been busted, multiple times.

It comes down to risk exposure, gotta make a deal with one devil, but you don't want a dozen bad actors ganging up on your data.
