I have used an iPhone in the past and I believe anyone can get out of their walled gardens if they want to. They just need to research and work on it though.
A lot of average users won't do that though. You can export everything if you work on it. The only issue which is iMessage, but that's purely a US issue really. Hardly a problem in Europe where WhatsApp dominates it here.
Boost comes with a lift y of bells and whistles, but in all honesty, voyager is pretty good out of the box. Not to mention the dev is honestly the most active I have ever seen.
I don't usually use social media apps at all. But lemmy to me reminds of old school forums. A few people interested in a subject keep that section of the forum alive.
