You live in a bubble my friend. Not everyone will move to tor. Not even close. Linux has reached 3% in the steam statistics recently. Remove the deck users and you'll be lucky if it hits 1%. Of those 1% not even everyone will be able to give up the regular web. I'm sure there will be a surge in alternative browsing prorocols, but not enough to change the status quo.
Most of the mainstream social media is blocked where I am. Good news: a huge part of even uneducated population does indeed learn to evade censorship. Bad news: they tend use the most easily-accessible services, which are sketchy, like reselling the users' IPs as residential proxies.
