I’m happy. I have friends with androids who I can’t share pictures and videos with unless it’s third party DMs like Facebook

The majority of people outside the US use WhatsApp as their default messaging app.

Great, I’m an American. My friends and family don’t use WhatsApp and they’re aren’t going to get it just to send me pictures

MMS messaging still works and always has.

Sure, but it compresses the shit out of pictures and videos. For text it's fine, but media sharing is terrible without RCS, iMessage, or a 3rd party app.

Granted, but the argument was "can't", not "the quality is bad". Also I believe RCS still depends on third party implementations on what the image quality will be, though it'll definitely be better than MMS.
