It's very simple: The level of compression of MMS messages is decided by
each carrier. So when someone on AT&T send an MMS to someone on Verizon
(or the other way around), the received video will be compressed at a
different level.

You apparently missed the two paragraphs just before that:

"The phenomenon can also affect group messages. As they say, once bad
apple can spoil the bunch, so if one of the recipients in your group is
on an Android phone, then the entire message will be sent over SMS.
Hence, all users will see blurry, barely watchable videos, even iPhone
users with iMessages enabled.

What gives? While it might seem like it’s the result of sabotage between
platforms, that’s not the case. It has to do with compression. Apple
handles the iPhone-to-iPhone delivery of texted videos, so no matter the
size, videos are sent and received in their original quality. However,
that’s not the case when not using Apple’s system from start to
finish—your carrier gets in the way, and that’s when things break down."

What the next paragraph you quoted is saying is when group messaging
with Android users, images and videos sent to them are sent as MMS
messages and therefore get compressed based on their carrier's MMS file
size limitations.

Learn to read for comprehension.
