Taking your first three points as true, the trade is you get free global multi-way instant messaging, including pictures and video/audio clips, and video calling, for no cost other than minimal data costs.

Lots of people are currently willing to make that trade, at least until a competitor comes along that offers something better.

The fact that lots of people are willing to make that trade does not make it good or ethical.

> at least until a competitor comes along that offers something better.

Next year, the EU is going to force all messenger platforms to interoperate. Then we will be able to really compare.
