I use it because it is more convenient than chat apps.
It’s built-in and just works. It’s also platform independent. I only use it for family though. I use chat apps for friends because they don’t have my mobile number.
And SMS isn’t WhatsApp which is a great thing. Not that I know anyone except my mother that uses it.
It boggles my mind how people in the US still use SMS.
I guess we cant all be enlightened enough to trust Facebook with everything.
Based on experience dealing with people outside the US for my job, I’d say this person is implying whatsapp as the alternative.
I personally don’t see the point from within the states, given that whatsapp forces you to connect your number to it anyway.

Btw, I’m not in the USA.
