Many people have a bad image of Android and only use iOS because "walled garden = safe family". Those people are not going to suddenly be happy using the FB Store.

> How many people have been successful at getting their friends & family to switch from FB Messenger or WhatsApp to something like Signal? Some, sure.

Maybe it's an americanism, but i know almost no one that doesnt use SMS exclusively on android and SMS + iMessage on iphone. a few techies use signal, but i've never met anyone ask to use any other chat platform.
