It doesn’t go without saying. I disagree about physical media. It’s one of the few ways to guarantee you actually own the thing you bought. People still buy brand new vinyl.
Technology rarely disappears completely, but it does usually fades into hobbyist and collector territory.
To answer the question, I don’t think SMS will be around much longer. It has many problems and is already being replaced by many different standards that are better in every way.
Offline DRM historically has always been broken eventually, and when it gets cracked, it stays cracked. They can’t change it or take it away from you like streaming.
Blu-ray DRM is the most cutting edge, and it’s pretty easy to crack right now.

This is true about analog mediums but a good amount of modern digital media has DRM even if it’s physical.

God, I can only hope SMS fades significantly, but I just don’t believe it will.
It’s part of the the cell framing, so there’s no reason for it to go away, unfortunately.
You’d have to get people to disable it, which isn’t really possible without root.
