This text messaging system over radio seems awesome for recreational and emergency communication.

OK, we do not speak about same users : you speak about population and I about emcomm teams. For sure, emcomm teams have to listen to population (I think about PMR446, LPD433, CB27, E channel…) in voice mode, but they need to build internal radio infrastructure to share information. Ribbit could be a brick of this solution :
- easy to deploy
- without specific hardware (compatible with what every amateur radio already has)
- high density of information transmitted by spectrum used
- logging messages
- geolocation of messages
- no internet connection needed
