Everyone who has an iPhone uses iMessage as a main communication app. Nobody bothers to replace their default SMS client and literally all banks, institutions, 2FA and key communications rely on sms to work.
The fact that most people seem to prefer to have their personal or business chats on WhatsApp is secondary to SMS and iMessage (on iPhone obviously).

Receiving a second factor is hardly communication. Nobody sends a thank you SMS back.
but SMS isn’t where “main communication” happens anymore
virtually all banks and institutions also send out letters via the postal service, but I wouldn’t say that was proof that “main communication” was typically delivered via envelope
Do you really want to know how dead iMessage is in Europe? I was on iPhone for 4 full years, with bunch of friends and colleagues with them as well. I never even knew that it was anything but SMS app - that no one uses. Everything is on other applications, and SMS is just for automated messages and like 5th backup communications method if nothing else is available

Nobody in europe that has an iphone uses imsg as their primary anything. Because Europe is an android dominated market.
“Nobody who drives a car does that. Because most people drive bikes.” Please go back to school and try again
That doesn’t even make sense lmao
Here even iPhone users predominantly use WhatsApp to communicate with each other.
Stop pretending you know how this market works. You don’t.
As if you do 😂
I very much do. Nobody uses iMessage lol
