Messengers on the other hand are mostly proprietary non-federated
services like WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Threema etc. which use servers
of the respective provider (like Meta in the case of WhatsApp) and they
send messages using these servers. You also can not send message from
WhatsApp to Signal or Threema. If you have friends using Threema you
either also need a Threema account or you have to convince your friends
to join the messenger service you use yourself.

Whereas SMS is guaranteed to exist on any (mobile) phone.
Yes - but it is not guaranteed any longer to be delivered. At least in
Germany I experienced it more than once that SMS from one provider to
another did not get delivered to the recipient. Since providers don't
earn extra money for SMS any longer, they tend not to care about
interoperability any longer.
SMS has never been more important as delivery channel for security
related distribution channels and for businesses. Simply because it is
standardised like email.
For private communication it almost completely lost its importance and
was replaced with Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal,
Threema and iMessage. But certainly not RCS.
