I mean, anyone under 20 could read that and get the message. Probably even quicker than if it was written out fully.

It's a matter of context. I don't think anyone would say that such spelling is inappropriate for personal messaging between friends, but when you're writing for a wider audience, it seems to me to be a matter of simple courtesy to at least attempt to write in a reasonably standard form of English (or whatever language it is you're writing in).
