Ultimately it is really quite hard to monetize a platform that is so easy to implement with so little product differentiation. People use messaging for messaging. I don't care if you have better emojis. I will certainly leave if you show me adverts. If it really turns out that most people only want simple messaging apps then maybe there isn't that much money in it. Maybe that's ok.
