I don't think many people will be disagreeing with you, but for now, and for those of us who don't have the skills to solve the problem, we are left to look for the best option that is available. You've correctly identified all the problems and what should be done ... are you going to work on it? If not, why not? Perhaps the answer to that will tell you why, as far as we know, nobody is working on it. Sure as heckfire none of the big telecoms providers are going to bother.

Unfortunately I think it's one of those situations where the existing tech is "good enough" and there is not profit incentive to make it better. There is an incentive to amass a large user base (with associated network graph) so you can achieve a high valuation, but there is no incentive to create a new messaging protocol that can sit on top of the cell network. If anything, this is a task for non-profit orgs like the IEEE, IETF, EFF, etc. to be working on and funding.
