These people also don't live in the real world. "Hey buddy, I know all your friends are using this chat service, but just stop using it and move to this barebones, extensively complex to setup service and everyone will follow suit, trust me"
Well you can start using Matrix and still talk to your contacts on all centralized platforms via Matrix bridges so it's really easy to move to that. You will at least remove mobile apps trackers from your life and already start gaining extra privacy for every contact that does move to Matrix afterwards
Also, it's not at all complex to start using, like all things you download an app and create an account (I can suggest Element or Beeper)
