How hard to implement can this possibly be? I am not a programmer, so really asking.

I meant "wasteful as there are many messages to be sent on the background, invisible to the user"
And also costly for those people that are on subscription that charges for number-of-sent-mms'es

But, just as I had never heard about the feature or thought that it could be necessary, same might well apply to the developers at Jolla.

But Jolla developers are (should be) different animals. They develop an application implementing a given standard, they should know that standard.

"Group MMS" is not a 3GPP standard, it seems to be an extension thought out later and implemented on some platforms.
@imaginaryenemy says it works on Android, WP, iOS and BB10 but as I googled a bit it seems it does not work correctly even on some Androids.

I would imagine that any issues with group MMS on the platforms I mentioned are with third party apps.
At this point group MMS is as ubiquitous call waiting.

Never even heard about the thing. I guess it isn't used a lot in Europe. The few MMS I've received in my life usually didn't contain the picture that was sent (some error at either end). I haven't received or sent an MMS for years.

I use a lot of MMS'es, almost daily.
And indeed this is the first time I ever heard about Group MMS.
However, as @imaginaryenemy said, it seems to be a client implementation feature.

On the topic of network messages that SFOS doesn't implement: the other day I was reading about the missile that overflew Japan, and citizens living in the area received an alert on their phones. This reminded me that I've seen those alerts before, on Android phones, for flood warnings or Amber alerts. This seems like something SFOS should implement as well; it would not be good to be less safe in the event of a disaster because our OS did not display the warning.

Probably because they were phones, not multipurpose devices with the phone functionality bolted on.
