As a counterpoint I can think of dozens of personal acquaintances who are happily non-users and never interact with Facebook properties (retirees not into tech, busy executives, to cool for Facebook hipsters). If your country or social circle doesn't use WhatsApp, Facebook itself is already dying and Instagram is getting their lunch eaten by Tiktok.

FBs revenue growth doesn't agree with this perspective: https://twitter.com/JonErlichman/status/1354536238104064005
That is a very good point. But usually changes in revenue trail changes in adoption and/or engagement. Both when growing, and when slowing down.

Aside from China, Japan and Korea, do such countries exist?

The US is also pretty heavy on iMessage usage and FB messenger still dominates WhatsApp.
