Why would someone use one of these instead of good old fashioned SMS / iMessage / email spam?
There's zero spam filtering interfering this way, and you can target your messages very precisely.
And zero record of it ever happening as far as the carrier's concerned.
Idk about zero, my Android device has SMS spam filtering, putting them in a separate inbox, hiding the notification, and with big red warnings if I indeed open them.
Rest assured the state behind this attack does it as well. Why not both?
