Okay so now we know the downsides. Destruction of friendships and negative impact on your social life.

Can you tell us a bit more of the benefits/upsides of your decision?

When you die and go to secular-heaven you will be able to tell Saint Dawkins that you successfully resisted the billionaires by not giving them the pleasure of messaging your friends on their platforms, and will be permitted entry. Just don't tell him you were resisting from your iPhone.

Kind of like Marquess Brownlee reviewing tech phones, recommending a ton of them, being asked constantly which one of them he uses, saying it's one of the phones he recommended.

And then seeing him in non phone review videos reading stuff constantly from... his iPhone :-)
