Nah. The CTIA recommended support for H.264 video in 2013. But a megabyte of H.264 isn't going to get you very far. There's no technical limitation here on size or format since MMS is just SOAP over WAP and SMTP. That's why you see the odd MMS provider supporting OGG and whatnot.
The poor MMS experience is entirely down to carriers creating a mess of it, just like they did with RCS. Or have you forgot that T-Mobile had to run (and probably still is, but I'm too lazy to check) both a Google and non-Google RCS stack to get a semblance of interoperability?

Here's Verizon's list of supported file formats:

Wanna bet that they mean MPEG 4 part 2 and not MPEG 4 part 10?
Not sending high quality video via MMS isn't an Apple issue, it's a carrier one.
