If you care about privacy, you shouldn’t be using WhatsApp anyway. Not when matrix/signal exist.
The problem is when you’re the only one in your social group that does. No one I know wants to move somewhere else.
The more of us that take the hit the fewer people just going along.
How are you convincing your contacts to move from WhatsApp?

I don’t have WhatsApp on my phone. If they want to talk to me they have to use something else. Most use Telegram.
Or the option that happens in practice: You are just forgotten and people stop contacting you.
People don’t like change, and will resist it. How much depends on the person.
In many cases you just wouldn’t be contacted lol
A few people I know won’t switch, but most actually do use something else. And I can contact anyone via SMS anyway
