“The images are better!” These were limitations of the SMS standard that Apple designed around.
Apple intentionally sets the MMS size limit extremely low, much lower than any other manufacturers or carriers.
This is done intentionally to make communications with non-apple devices a worse experience.
They weren’t just “making the best of what they had”
They were/are actively making the non-proprietary experience worse.

That’s because you’re looking at it from an adults perspective, if you go into a HS you’ll see it (Source, used to be a substitute in a past life) and there have even been some articles on it that the whole blue/green bubble thing is targeting by Apple towards teens in HS rather than adults.

Many people never mature past high school so I wouldn't be surprised to see this amongst older people.
