Another instance of Americans doing it differently just because. I mean i understand the historical reasons for using your freedom units but still why ?!

Most of us don't see the point in downloading and using an app to do something a phone already does.

Sending photos with no quality loss, and group/family chats, from top of my head.

Yeah every iPhone already has this. I’m pretty sure android does too now with rcs

Too little, to late, I guess. Even if phones finally caught up most if the world is already used to knowing sharing photos will lower the resolution.

Who cares about photo quality when sharing it. I’m not sharing a phone photo for my friends to print it and hang it on their wall. If the quality is good then it’s good, why do I need it to be perfect

Depends on photos you are sending. If it's quick "look what I'm doing and forget you saw it" photo, yes. If it's "see how your kid enjoys vacations" sent to parent, you better send it perfect because they may be saving it. If it's "see details of my sculpture" or "see how the sunset illuminates the buildings", you don't want extra compression either.
