Is that effective surveillance? I know SMS is plain text, but anything interesting is probably on iMessage, or RCS, or SSL web, no?

This is an Israeli company and all the data is almost certainly being sent back to Israel. Texas has a specific law against boycotting Israeli products as well. https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/anti-israel-policies-are-ant...
