You are correct, however the reality is more nuanced. Good luck getting any of the old people in my family to try a different app for messaging. You can set it up for them, but hoo boy, "fixing" it when they move it or something else is a full time job and not worth the effort.

Yeah, I understand that too. Becoming the tech person for everyone isn't fun either.
