For voice calls, most use regular phone calls here, it just works better (and VoLTE/VoWiFi is great addition to sound quality).
Apps are only used when you are making video calls.
As for messages, it’s much easier to send images/videos via whatsapp/signal than it’s via SMS. + replies/reactions.
Probably main reason why people use apps instead SMS (even while many/most of our plans include unlimited data/sms/calls).
RCS added those features IIRC, but why switch to another solution while apps works just fine and most of people already are used to Whatsapp 🤷♂️
And most of the people here has Whatsapp installed, so usually you don’t have to guess what app to use :P
