Everyone who has an iPhone uses iMessage as a main communication app. Nobody bothers to replace their default SMS client and literally all banks, institutions, 2FA and key communications rely on sms to work.
The fact that most people seem to prefer to have their personal or business chats on WhatsApp is secondary to SMS and iMessage (on iPhone obviously).

virtually all banks and institutions also send out letters via the postal service, but I wouldn’t say that was proof that “main communication” was typically delivered via envelope

Heck, I get 2fa WhatsApp messages these days.
Except it is
By a very strict definition: Yes.
By anything that matters in the context of this: No.
Nobody in europe that has an iphone uses imsg as their primary anything. Because Europe is an android dominated market.
“Nobody who drives a car does that. Because most people drive bikes.” Please go back to school and try again
That doesn’t even make sense lmao
Here even iPhone users predominantly use WhatsApp to communicate with each other.
Stop pretending you know how this market works. You don’t.
As if you do 😂
I very much do. Nobody uses iMessage lol
In what country do you live? I live in Germany and not even iPhone users use iMessage.
Use your reading eyes and understanding brain again and reread what I said
What you said was bullshit lol
iMessage is barely used
Use your reading eyes sugar
