Telegram? Signal? Viber? Matrix?

I feel like all of these apps (with special emphasis on Telegram and Signal) have almost the exact same UX and features of WhatsApp... beyond adoption numbers.

Surely one of these can take its place?

Matrix is used by the French government [1] and the German military [2]. I’m honestly surprised Matrix isn’t robustly funded by the EU yet as an open competitor to US Big Tech.
