In the UK it's WhatsApp, in parts of Europe I believe it's Viber, in some communities it's Telegram, in Asia it's WhatsApp or LINE, in China it's WeChat, in some places it's Facebook Messenger.
I'm between the UK and Australia, and haven't received an iMessage in years, literally. I get SMS on a daily/weekly basis for 2FA things.
It probably has something to do with the fact that outside the US, iPhone market penetration is low, so it's assumed that sending someone an SMS will be an actual SMS, not always upgraded to iMessage.
