Why there is always the guy that tell others what to do? People should use what's best for them, be it IM apps, browser, OS, whatever.

Well you can start using Matrix and still talk to your contacts on all centralized platforms via Matrix bridges so it's really easy to move to that. You will at least remove mobile apps trackers from your life and already start gaining extra privacy for every contact that does move to Matrix afterwards

Also, it's not at all complex to start using, like all things you download an app and create an account (I can suggest Element or Beeper)
