I only text people I know IRL and none of them are tech literate enough to use something other than the default messenger app, let alone hack anything to obtain sensitive info. And if a 3rd party wants to hack my messages, they're gonna see a LOTTA penis and not anything important, so fuck it.
So, they also don't use WhatsApp, Instagram and so on, because they would need to install an app? Oo
Why even bother with a smart phone? WAP and MMS should suffice...
Around here even the most tech illiterate use Whatsapp for messaging. No one™ with a smartphone uses the default messenger app. So I'd say it is more an issue of expectation and motivation, rather than actual ability.
