Unless the EU makes them use RCS they never will. In the US iMessage is literally THE REASON people buy the iPhone. It's their main selling point. They don't care how much pressure you place on them, they aren't going to lose those sales willingly.

I have seen people literally say they like that iMessage is exclusive, and they like to keep Android users away/separate

It was reeking of classism in addition to being generally a terrible thing to read

I've heard of people not responding to the wrong colored bubbles or being judgemental, like my $1,200 phone is better than your $1,200 phone?
