The US seems to primarily still use sms. I’ve heard it’s tied to having unlimited messaging phone plans being the norm, so people weren’t as drawn to other platforms.
And US still has very expensive data plans compared to Finland (I pay 21e/month for unlimited 200mbps data, calls, sms).
That could also be one factor why SMS is still used there so much 🤔

Also, you don’t even need a platform at all. Just a phone and a phone number.
