Still the case in most Asian countries where UIs are all Craigslist alike and UX is just shit. People just got use to it. Apparently westerns willing to pay a premium for better UX. It's a culture gap.
Side note but as a buyer looking to buy used tools from locals, Craigslist's UX could not be better. I just started using it recently (after forgetting about it for a decade). Absolutely the opposite of shit.
Though I think maybe if one is using it for a different purpose, like looking for apartments or roommates then that's probably shit.
In south east asia, people dont' have very good phone or even smart phone in that matter, txt msg makes sense. The same to many african countries where dumb phones are still dominant.
I cannot speak for Africa, but this is not true of South East Asia.
Whilst cheap 'dumb' phones do still exist and are used, even low income earners in South East Asia tend to have a smart phone, and most of the business done as landgenoot says is conducted via Telegram, Facebook, or occasionally WhatsApp or Line.
There are also ways of paying using nothing but a phone number, but usually business is done on a smart phone where photos of products are are shared, delivery is arranged, and since COVID, most payments are done via QR codes that require a smart phone.
In my experience this is not only true of the cities, but also even out in the provinces.
this is the storyline that people should ideally internalize and realize that they do not know what they are talking about when commenting on others without having direct experience
