FTFY

> Those people only have them to talk to you

Nah, any single one of them has many more friends outside of Japan than I have friends in Japan. People living on an island with the most powerful passport in the world love to travel, breaking news.

> because you're not in Japan and don't use LINE.

It's true for all of the world except Japan :)

> (Also, Instagram is not a messaging app. Messenger is.)

That's just false. After it's stopped being about photos, it's just a messaging app for me and countless other people who don't care about its tiktok-mimicking reels and other drivel. It's actually very decent at being just a messenger.
