I suspect it may be a geniuine thing amongst teens, though... mocking and bullying people with green chat bubbles in the group text is apparently a Real Thing amongst middle- and high-school kids right now, so I could 100% see a teen girl blowing off a date over having the wrong sorts of status symbol devices.
Kids mock and bully each other because they’re kids and green bubbles actually mean something - the messaging experience (images, links, tapbacks) is degraded in group texts.
No one who is of dating age cares about that stuff if they’re interested in the person.
