It's not, though? It's an article on an Android-focused site about the state of Android extrapolating global trends from US stats.

I guess that makes it about US phone use in that "you shouldn't extrapolate global trends from US phone use" is a relevant point about it.

It's not, though?

Second sentence in the article:

Unfortunately, that's a fact not quite represented in the US. (emphasis mine)

The article is US centric and mentions studies and the market in the US all over the article. The article even talks about RCS and the issue there.

This is a strange conversation indeed but I don't think it is for the reason you think it is.

Fair enough, I suppose. It's still a very culturally specific, bizarre-sounding controversy from outside the US. It's not a surprise that people would point that out when Americans get stuck in heated debates about it.
