I personally don’t use WhatsApp because I enjoy it, it’s just the app with the critical mass in my family and friend group.

I've used messenger in the past, after that i've just convinced family/friends to install telegram and chat there. Now I'm thinking abt moving to Signal, so imo, it's not that a big deal, users can migrate/install alternatives. If ppl care, they'll install an app to communicate with you, if they don't, well...

Were you also able to convince your employer, repairmen, local communities to leave WhatsApp? I am among the least connected people among various circles I am in, yet I'm not able to leave WhatsApp.

You're aware that not every country is your country, right? In some places WhatsApps is culturally relevant and is used by government, business, etc.
