Facebook won because people from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland could not only connect with friends in their domestic and neighboring countries but because they could connect with friends all around the globe.

That's what pretty much happened all around the world with FB/IG or in one word standardization.

Not only that. Even thought VZ always showed impressive numbers it always was kinda niche. Definitely not as widespread as some comments make it out to be.
