SMS proves this year after year...

Platform-specific messaging is useful to be certain of the identity you are trying to reach.

Twitter proves this year after year...

feels like you've got that backwards killer.

certainty of who we're communicating with is more important than the number of sailors we can reach, no?

this is to say nothing of the downsides of anchoring to the legacy of pstn

In the context of that cast certainty is referring to reaching the correct user on that platform.  For example, when @dwr.eth sent out the tweets to join FC, I DM'd his Twitter account, cause that is the account that sent the tweet. But I don't use Twitter (𝕏) to message friends, family, or random businesses, for that I use an iMessage which is built on the network effects of SMS because everyone has a phone number.

I didn't mean certainty, from a security perspective. For that, I agree, that the phone networks are one of the least secure for managing control over the platform identifier.  And why I built a product to fix that.
