I use it because I quite like the spam detection feature.

This is also why I still use it. Of all the SMS apps I've tried, it also has the most visually pleasing UX (for me personally). I get an incredible amount of spoofed SMS spam, most of it related to off-market real estate nonsense. Messages has been the only app successful in blocking them.

What kind of spam detection do you mean, isn't this a messaging service?

Yes. You can (and sadly do) receive spam SMS. Google Messages is quite good at spotting them
