but it takes two people to migrate together to a new chat platform at once. while for social network you can join in only by yourself.

Fair objection. But then the work is minimal; you don't necessary have to read or write somehing, to feel that you chose the right tool.
Pick a friend and start.
Yes, you can join. But will you stay? Majority of the Nostr users play with it for a few days and then walk away. They have to find that peer to welcome them. Otherwise, it doesn't really work.
Exactly I’m working on THIS onboarding app with built in DM to support advocates sharing nostr with friends:

Same happen to chat app. You need your friends all stay actively on chat app so you can reach out to them. otherwise it won’t work out. I am just trying to say it is not that simple once we built it they will come. Chat app is no different from any other products, you need to bring some thing new and some thing people want so badly so they are willing to migrate
Many people don’t realize that we can use Nostr to build more secure chat app than signal/what’sApp/simpleX chat. Many Nostr OG also don’t realize this possibility.
Why people will use another one chat app ?
If it provides more security and privacy and openness, why not ?
You know many Chinese people dont use WeChat to discuss sensitive topics. They use telegram/whatsapp/ signal/ element.
