Hangouts can't receive MMS without special support from your mobile operator. Operators such as T-Mobile and... Google Voice... have been known to insufficiently provide that support.

All operators have worked fine for over two years. They announced this back then.

Okay, you can announce that everything is fine, but it just ain't so. I missed MMS messages on T-Mobile in 2016.

Google's suggested solution, besides twiddling cellular network settings and asking your friends to keep texting you until it works, is to stop using Hangouts [1].

I believe you, but it's something that isn't quite as easy to compare anymore. I have a friend with an iPhone on verizon that has missed MMS or found it delayed by days. GV is easier to blame usually since it's different than other services.
