SMS is limited to 140 symbols per message (half of that for non-Latin languages), costs money, multimedia messages are a royal PITA to handle.[0]
Most providers moved to bundled plans with tons and tons of SMS included, but only when they already lost to WA.
[0] Last year I needed to send a photo through MMS. It took me 3 attempts to find a proper combo on how to photo in a format acceptible for MMS. Think 640x480 at best. Only three because I've used MMS in the past so somewhere back in my mind there are still info about it. If I were 20 y/o I wouldn't even figure out what I need to do.
