Potato-quality happens the other way too, for what it's worth. I tend to believe it's the fault of iPhones, because sending media Android->Android over MMS works fine.

Yep. It's because android supports rich messages, a kind of SMS 2.0, where as iPhones do not support it because it competes with iMessage.

No, even without RCS the quality seems to be decent. Even on my old BlackBerry receiving a video from a Windows Phone over MMS had decent quality.
