Well, 5 years may have been a stretch. Maybe more like 10+.

Doubt it as much as you want but we use several newer apis and phones wouldn't be powerful enough to run the damn thing 10 years ago since it's a web app.

I don't think you're making a good case for yourself. It would be extremely difficult to run Slack on a computer from the 1990s, but we sure as hell still had chat apps.

I don't think the majority of people had chat apps on their phones even in the late 2000s.

I remember a little of the pre smartphone days. Basically no one installed any apps that didn't come with the phone. I tried to download some apps on some symbian device but experience was shitty as hell and many times they didn't even work for some unknown reason.
