Android's default messaging apps are probably used by a minority small enough to fit on a palm of a regular sized human hand. Yes, no one uses them.

I am a Google fan and have been since the beginning. I have never owned a Apple device and I am unlikely to ever. The following is just an opinion of a fan.
Google is a complete mess when it comes to chat programs. They have a crap load of options that do a part of the whole picture. The only one that was at least close to doing it all was Hangouts but then before a replacement was released they started dropping it support.

It was nice and they dropped it for a crap load of apps that could not replace it.
Oh and I have never used messenger unless forced. It happens but not often.
