… you really think most people under 30 don’t text?

Not via SMS in my experience, no.
Your experience is a bubble, and a very different claim than "most people under 30 don't text"
I imagine this is geographic. Texts are quite expensive in some places, and that means people use alternatives instead. Also some people had pervasive mobile phone usage for a long time before smartphones made other options available, which I imagine would add to their popularity. Here in Denmark SMS is very entrenched, but I know it varies in other countries.
I thought it was pretty clear I was referring to SMS by context given that other forms of texting don’t require a phone number
