you are missing a but 'given a choice' disclaimer. Meta is pretty much a monopoly in social space. So is Android. given a choice people will absolutely gravitate towards not-always-snooping device. most people with resources anyway, who matter for the AI adoption.

Oh an wait till ad companies start selling your healthcare data and you will see how fast things turn 'given a choice'.

People A) don’t have to use Meta and B) do have a choice between not using a mobile phone by an ad tech company.

People don't have a choice between Facebook and not-Facebook-but-still-has-all-of-your-friends-and-family. Abstinence isn't a choice here any more than shutting off your cell phone service is a choice; true in the literal sense, but only if you don't mind being unreachable to everyone who still has a phone.
