You can get it on hundreds of other services if the people you talk to also use those other services.

The problem is that they don't because Apple does not allow you to use any other service with SMS fallback.

boo hoo. that doesn’t entitle you to use someone else’s private property however you like without their permission. it’s baffling how you don’t comprehend that.
