I haven't sent an SMS since like 2013 or something like that. Couldn't care less about this blue green controversy, my use of SMS is receiving 2fa codes and spam.
It's hard to get phone service without unlimited SMS in the USA. Using it is still worse than most alternatives so I do find it weird that people aren't adopting chat apps more eagerly.
Right, nearly all US carrier and MVNO plans have offered unlimited SMS and MMS for years now. It's free, it's built-in, and it's easy. For most, it doesn't matter if chat apps are better, so it's been very difficult to convince people you chat with to switch to a different app.
