I use the apps my friends use but it gets tiring to keep up with so many.

Do whatever you want, but again, make sure your contacts can make an informed decision about it.
I bet none of my contacts made an informed decision about which chat app they are using. I don't think that this really bothers one of them. Most of them do not know, what the difference between Insta-pms and Whatsapp even is, as far as security and privacy are concerned. And from my point of view I don't know it detailed enough too. Making an informed decision about a closed source software and as a non technical person is not as easy as you may think. At least from my point of view.
You're hitting the nail directly on the head.
Not knowing what's going on being a bad thing is precisely my whole point
Meh. For many people, software research is an impossibly high barrier for entry because of years of FANG brain rot.
