Why does this matter? As an android user, I don't really understand iMessage. Are people mad about a text bubble being a different color?
Some Apple users regard this as a status symbol, some even excluding android users to avoid the green bubbles. This is probably because they perceive android as inferior since green text bubbles are associated with degraded performance largely imposed by apple when falling back to sms for interoperability (crappy pic quality, spammy notifications). Apple uses this to help keep iphone dominance (at least in the US).
This sounds like something made up. Even if it’s true, it’s so unimportant that doesn’t need to be legislated.
