Maybe in the circles you move, saying "Sorry, I don't SMS, you'll have to download this other app to message me" would fly, but I for one have to interact with a lot of people for which it would not.

I have SMS, right, you kind of have to have a phone number, but to me it's legacy support, I pay for the mobile data. I'll do SMS as a sort of fallback.
The people you want to send you SMS like companies that need your phone number can't do SMS, and the ones you'd rather message you elsewhere sometimes insist on SMS. It's annoying.
