Yes.

But it's a blurred lines between having to do something or being pressured or heavily encouraged to do something (otherwise you are left out of an important social system).

I'm totally agreeing with you, just adding that sometimes infrastructure matters (as it gives little choice to population) & can be especially bad if there is a single entity behind it with it's own agenda not aligned with users interests (eg for profit companies, or in this case I guess geopolitical stuff too).
