    People in each country used whatever everyone else is using. In the US that became text/iMessage. This was partially driven by the way cell companies charged in the US with free texts but limits on data (iMessage uses data, but it came later).

    In other countries the better at the time options won out. We talk to our friends in Europe and Africa with WhatsApp.
