I dunno, I think the vagaries of billing plans are a perfectly good reason to complain about a medium which is only available in an extortionately-billed way. (I.e., what do you mean, "point"? :-)
I think the vagaries of billing plans in general also prevent paying "much more for phone service than they'd pay for texting" -- texting is only available as an add-on to existing phone service, so it will always be an "extra" which costs "more" until the vagaries of billing plans are fixed.
On the qualities of the media themselves, I agree with you; and because the plan I got happened (through vagaries) to force me to get 300 texts a month minimum, I happily text.
