I gave up WA many years ago on my iPhone and I'm not missing anything
and I can easily communicate with everybody having a smartphone.

And it has a reason why someone is using Signal and not WA.

For Signal and other providers like Telegram, Threema and even iMsg
interoperability would mean instant suicide. Why should anyone use them
instead of the "original"?

In this case the authorities are undermining competition instead of
promoting it.

WA is rather for housewives and adolescent people.
