It shouldn’t be. There is no monopoly. There are people that are mad you can’t get blue iMessages from an android and you can’t side load “easily”. That’s it.


Nobody cares about iMessage in the EU. That level of classist discrimination is a US phenomenon.


The WhatApp dependence of EU countries is worse than the US SMS situation. At least I (US resident) can communicate with whatever app/device I choose.


And if the blue bubble matters to one's "friends" in the US...then one needs better friends.
