- some services don’t work (you already mentioned WhatsApp, there’s also others (Discord, FB Messenger) - maybe you can use them in the browser but it’s going to be a subpar experience)
- some have limited functionality (bank: works but you need to carry the physical 2FA device to log in instead of using your fingerprint; groceries: around here, the ones with websites have high order minimums and delivery fees; translating: camera translation (essential when travelling or living abroad) is only on the Google Translate app AFAIK; news: the national public broadcaster here doesn’t have a ‘breaking’ RSS feed, and apparently even the ‘all news’ feed is broken anyways)
- carrying around separate devices (camera etc.) brings us back to the original point: if you want to enjoy the niceties of modern devices, FOSS is going to be a compromise
