I don’t get it. iMessage is Apple’s service. Why are they obliged to open it up for everyone to use? Would it be nice? Yes, of course. Should Apple be legally required to open up access to their service?
You can argue that they're unfairly using monopoly power. Same reason why MS was forced to allow windows to switch browsers.
How would you argue that? There’s plenty of other options and iMessage falls back to MMS, which all phones are capable of.
