I mean, isn't this just trading one bad monopoly for another? It's weird to me that everyone's like "oh, the backwards US where they gave in to the Apple monopoly. We enlightened rest of the world use Facebook's Whatsapp like real free people".

Yes, but at least you get the same experience on every device with the other monopolies.
WhatsApp doesn't pressure people to buy another phone. Also, encryption is important.
