Oh geeze, so much. "Hey just grab Signal real quick, it's super simple and private and SMS seems to get worse as time goes on anyway. Plus I can send you better pictures and videos!"
"Lol meh why you tryin to sell it to me."
It's weird, the things people really dig in their heels on. They'll download apps for the silliest thing but "another chat app" is such an inconvenience.
It's the only reason I think reddit dot com still resolves at all anymore. If the users weren't the product, to both the company and other users, better alternatives would be the norm by now.
