Isn't there a clear solution in just using a non-sms app available to both Android and iPhone, like Messenger or WhatsApp?

from an iphone users perspective there is no problem that requires a solution. Since iMessage is installed by the default, and there is no need for another app. And with iOS being pretty dominant in the US, no other app is going to get the traction it needs on iOS to be a successful cross platform communications.

Looks like Android has about 45% of the market in the United States. I actually thought it was higher.

I think the incompatibility is a bigger deal than you think it is. There is a need for a proper messaging app.

Imessage comes with ios and is the same as the app you use for sms.
