not from the US, never used those apps

in Europe we all have MBWay (at least that's the only app I ever used and everyone has it)

“Sending” instantly is different from “settled” instantly. The funds might have been sent but can be reversed up to 180 days later. Bitcoin transaction is final in 6 blocks or less. Even when fees are high now, you are still paying less than $2 for final settlement.

fees are proportional to the number of bytes your transaction has

You are comparing apples to oranges, a centralized payments network to a base layer decentralized settlement network.
