I agree => I'll try to expand?
In the case of WeChat, which from what I heard/read is nowadays deeply rooted in the life of Chinese people (used in China not just to "chat" but as well to perform payments, rate shops and even people, get credit ratings, maybe more), getting rid of something like that would be reaaally hard, even if officially the app is not forced on anybody.
Assuming e.g. that Facebook would create its "Libra"-currency, it would then make it available at least within Whatsapp, and when people would start using it (for any reason) then it would be 1000 times harder to get rid of Whatsapp-the-chat even if it would stomp on all possible individual rights because the "need" to have that whatsapp-payment(&future rating&whatever-method) would be stronger than any potential "future" loss of privacy.
