SMS is hilariously insecure, and messaging is a critical piece of infrastructure. I’m shocked that the government has taken so long forcing Apple to play nicely with other platforms, considering international data security.
SMS works. iMessage works. Both work in tandem on a device and there’s a distinction which is which, therefore you get full access to and from when communicating with a device. I’m shocked that there’s this lunacy around conflating the two or expecting two different standards to work because people want to.
I want to have flying cars and breathe underwater without any equipment next, guess lets file a lawsuit forcing sub makers and car makers to go make that happen.
Ah, I see a comment with downvotes here and I know it’s a rational one I should be paying attention to.
Things work, but they feel entitled to forcing Apple to dedicate their resources to offering the same experience to people who don’t do business with Apple.
Forcing a business to operate better with another competitor for no benefit of their own is a dangerous precedent to set.

Nothing is stopping people from downloading whatever chat app they want to use. EU has done that.
Something is stopping another messaging app to have sms fallback and be the default messaging app on iOS. It’s iOS.
But does it work? Can you, as an Android user, send text messages to and from people with iPhones?
I’m saying this is a national security issue. The government has a vested interest in killing off SMS as soon as possible.
