Two thoughts-

1 - Maybe it's big in your circle, but not everyone has the same experience.

I literally don't know anyone who uses the app at all. (And I've asked around)

That's not to suggest your experience is invalid, just to point out WhatsApp may be more popular in your social circle than ubiquitous.

2- Moving off of FB-the-app has advantages, even if you're using other FB-the-company products. It's not all or nothing.

WhatsApp might as well be SMS in many countries. Not so, in the US.
