I agree with your mindset. This discussion feels extremely ego centric, imo.

Perhaps because users don't care what app they use to send messages with? Text messages is like this universal thing we do. Nobody cares which phone their friend uses when calling each other, as long as the other person has a phone too it's all good.

People are sending messages with whatsapp, sms, facebook, snapchat........
