Just my Whatsapp abstinence alone is costing me dearly socially. Without Telegram it would be straight to the hermitage. Very few normies use even Signal, let alone all the weird and wonderful “even more private” alternatives whose names I never bother to try to remember.
This advice is completely disconnected from the reality of anyone who has, or wants to have, a social life.
Or you know, people can start to move? Always this ridiculous expectation, “i only move if everyone uses it”. Like how is thay supposed to work?
No, not everyone needs to make a cold cut, even though it would be better. But you can start using e.g. Signal and maybe one or two of your friends would too. And slowly more and more people would migrate. It’s a process, but if most people don’t even bother then of course it won’t go anywhere.

Like a man who takes no risk is not a man.
Call a spade a spade. Admit the truth!
Those aren’t businesses or governments cuz they don’t secure their comms.

For secure messaging that isn’t centralized and doesn’t require a phone number, I’d suggest Delta Chat.
SimpleX Chat is good too.
