I think that's a bit of an exaggeration (or wishful thinking) - there's no way MMS is 1 to 1 with SMS. Nobody I know uses MMS whereas everyone uses SMS. It's hard to see MMS as being an important feature in these circumstances, but then this opinion is only based on the people I know and other people may have a group of friends who use it a lot.

But still, it's nowhere near as popular as SMS.

Last time I tried to use MMS, it failed with some obscure network related error and I never got it to work properly. Not to mention each message would have cost me close to 30p a go at the time. MMS is a flakey technology that depends on the networks for support and in my experience rarely worked, and wasn't cheap.

E-mail on the other hand is robust and reliable technology, and costs practically nothing if you have a decent data plan.

The only thing that should be ridiculed is your post.
