        I’ve heard that in many countries Meta subsidizes a lot of the cell plans and many regions still have metered data but Meta apps don’t count towards their data limits.

        I’m not sure the veracity of that, but it would explain the wide adoption and insistence on staying within the Meta ecosystem.

          For my country it’s not just Meta apps, but all the major social networks (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok, YouTube) but it’s just certain plans that offer this.
