I recently had similar experience where a legitimate text from my insurance company was 100% indistinguishable from a scam text, directing me to a link on allstate.yem.bo. You would think it would be in an insurance company's interest not to train their users to click on scam links but what do I know.

Why would it be against their interest? Do they lose money somehow?

Well more people falling for scams might increase insurance claims some now

I appreciate times change, but a text is not an acceptable form of business communication.

My dentist suddenly switched to some SaaS billing service that texts bills and sends sketchy looking links to pay, and which I never agreed to. Sorry blocked! Mail me a bill if you want payment.
