KDE Connect offers similar functionally to the Your Phone app. I really prefer using Google's Messages for Web, though, since it's mostly texting via the PC I'm interested in. It can be installed as a Chrome app and run in its own window. Photos can be accessed via Google Photos on the web or through USB. If you use iOS and not Android, I'll agree that Linux doesn't do much there.
It's difficult to compare package versions across distros strictly by version number though. Different distros have different ethos behind them.. Rock solid stability, bleeding edge, and in between. Sometimes a version appears outdated, and may be missing newer features, but upstream security patches and such are backported. It's not always intuitive, and I wouldn't blame somebody for having the opinion that it's more effort than it's worth keeping up with the differences that can pop up between distros that way.
RHEL probably isn't the best example since it's aimed at enterprise. My last job had me using a Windows laptop 4 or 5 "feature update" versions out of date (about 3 years) with newer security patches applied. Companies like that would still probably be running Windows XP if they could
