no, I don't see we are in Europe locked in apple ecosystem, we use WhatsApp/messenger over here, nobody really user imessage, seem like some protection of american using archaic SMS or imessage

as for WeChat again wrong, THE map app it's Baidu maps, for shipping you have Taobao and JD, not WeChat, same for watching TV shows, same for short funny videos, same for other social stuff, same for games

you are overstating significance of WeChat, yes it has monopoly in messaging and social networking plus significant majority in payments over Alipay but that's it, other uses drop a lot and don't hold so during foothold over other apps
