The problem with texts is that, unlike voice calls, there is no caller ID so you either accept all texts or have the carrier disable texting completely. Most users aren't even aware that they can have texting turned off, and the carriers aren't about to start publicizing that fact. If enough people turned off texting completely then something would change.
