Yea this guy seems ignorant of what is available. You can use messages on the web. It’s easy. I don’t know what anyone looks at texting as a good solution anyways. Messaging apps are far better to use and work across borders without added cost. RCS is cool but still border limiting. Apples ecosystem is cost prohibitive too. The prices they charge for storage and ram on their products is outright absurd.

Trying to get people to install and use them can be frustrating. Some are regionally popular, like WhatsApp in Europe, and most people I really want to talk to use Signal, but the most popular messaging app in the US is probably iMessage, and only because Apple integrated it and SMS in a default app. Google started to do the same thing with Hangouts, but dropped the ball.
