To me it really seems like it is too late.

I have the strong impression that the vast majority of people simply do not care and mostly don't even want to know.

Most of the people I know are in this group. When they ask why I won't install the latest app they are playing with, they often cut me off before I even finish explaining. They seriously don't care about privacy, lock-in, loss of access to resources, right to repair, etc.

Personally, I'm investing as much time as I can in learning the alternatives: Gemini, Fediverse apps, Linux phones, etc. That combined with having a "mainstream" laptop that is used only for banking and similar life critical services that has nothing else installed and otherwise stays turned off.
