There are some regional differences. But iMessage is definitely not a monopoly anywhere.

Oh. It very much is in the US for the school aged crowd. Which means in the US there's currently about 85% of all kids growing up and becoming adults who are used to using an iPhone.

Yup, where I live, everyone uses Line. The only time I ever use iMessage is to talk with my brother back in the US. iMessage gets ignored because it’s full of spam for me.
