I come from pre-T9 SMS and yes, DMs are "texting". Texting doesn't refer to a protocol or transport, it's a message type. Holding onto texting only being SMS when it's a dying communication method worldwide is just silly. Did we originally mean SMS and only SMS? Yes. But definitions expand regularly and you don't want to be left behind because your clutching your digital pearls of old definitions.
