> With messaging apps you can use both Whatsapp and Signal
You can have both Whatsapp and Signal installed, but everyone in a conversation needs to have the same app. So why not both doesn't apply as neatly as you assert.

It's also a backup mechanism in case Signal fails (like it did when the exodus happened)
I view SMS as a fallback solution. It has plenty of benefits, i.e. no app required, works on every mobile phone ever made.
