MMS could've been (and still kindof is AFAIK) the only way to send rich text semi-anonymously for money with carrier billing ie not requiring platforms, app stores, and sign-up. Is was also blocked on Android due to the Stagefreight bug. MMS was used at lot for ringtones and wallpapers before the Smartphone era.
