Yes, it gives other tech a chance to breath. China doesnt have google and facebook, and it still manages.

If google and facebook were clear about what they use their data for, then I think countries wouldnt mind using their services. But at the moment, its of no benefit to use their services. They can just use others, right?

But true freedom entails the freedom to use the things you don’t need.
You can use other systems. You just dont want to give up these systems because you have used them all your life.

Maybe they will stop all cell phone use? except for apple? Or maybe they will deal with china and get their service.
Social media is not really needed. Sure, it makes life easier but if you get a phone number, you can easily call and keep in contact with a person. Unless those countries are having some benefit for using these systems, they should turn them off.
