This niche industry probably keeps wondering why nothing gets mainstream traction.

It's because they always miss one or two of the ten vital check boxes to get tech influencers (meaning, at the individual group level, more drilled down than "network effect") to jump on board.

One of the most vital check boxes: supporting whatever major method techies are currently using to avoid SMS/MMS.
