One advantage of SMS over other messengers. As far as I'm concerned whether I've read a message or not is nobody's fucking business but my own.

Exactly, which is why I refuse to enable read receipts or use services where it can't be disabled.

I'll get notifications and read them without actually opening them, and I'll also open messages without actually reading them. I don't want people to make assumptions based on the read status, so I refuse to engage with that feature.
