IMO Facetime is closer to being an app feature than being a phone feature - it isn't standardized, interoperable, or omnipresent the way phone calls and SMS are

It is interoperable. As of iOS 15 (released last year) non-Apple products like Android phones can join FaceTime calls. I'm not sure how widely used that part is.

But, anyway, I've heard FaceTime be a synonym for video calling, so I think it's also pretty present, depending on your circle.
