UVO Required to Text Using Voice Commands?!?

So, I just passed my 1 year anniversary with the Niro EV within the last week. Generally, I love the car. I let my UVO subscription lapse because I really didn't see much value in it for me. However, I just discovered that you can't use voice commands to send a text message without a UVO subscription?!

That's such a basic functionality, and it requires a subscription, really? My phone is connected via Bluetooth. It still let's me make calls using voice commands. It still receives and reads texts. But sending a text requires a subscription. LAME.
 
Yeah, I know it can be done in Android auto, but I've actually been using the car's nav and phone/text features for a while. Been nice not to have to constantly plug in my phone. This just seems like such a basic functionality to require a subscription. My last 2 cars could do this with just a Bluetooth connection to my phone.
