People used and loved WhatsApp long before it was e2e encrypted. I know, I was one of them.
In fact, IIRC was pretty bad before they implememted the new e2e encryption.
I used to think people chose them because they promised no ads and no tracking.
I now think most people used it because it was a user friendly messaging solution.
