Because the modern people do not phone unless it is an emergency and the
only way. If the people I want to share messages with use wasap, /I
have/ to use wasap to chat with them.

If I insist on using, say, signal, most probably they will not, and I
will not be able to chat with them, so I would lose contact.

More than a few of my contacts are not technical people, and depend on
other people to install apps. These people have no reason to change.

I have Telegram installed since years. Several of my contacts are there,
but not all. And nobody talks there, it is not used. So basically,
Telegram is useless to me.

Here, usage of wasap is almost universal. It has replaced SMS, and the
situation is not going to change anytime soon.
