Basically its a scarlet letter that means you have an android phone. When ios users text message each other, the messages are blue and also many forms of rich media and reactions can be sent. When a user has a green bubble it mostly means they dont have an iphone and cant receive lots of metadata, its even a great risk for misunderstanding to be made as the emojis are all completely different. The actual reason is less pretentious and is just notifying the user that the message is unencrypted (due to being a normal SMS), and that alone is a good enough warning to disassociate. But thats evolved to being a 99% correlation with having a non-iphone but specifically android device since the competitors have all left the market by now. Android users often are out of the loop on a lot of things, like many dont even know the reality of the green bubble issue. Many will learn and choose to continue missing the social cues, opting to believe that its just a small subset of pretentious people that care and that theyre better off not being around that kind of person. They don't know that many opportunities are being withheld from them. Why is that? Well. Think about it. Many android users looooooove to tell people about how much control they have over their phone. Everyone knows! Nobody cares! Nobody wants to hear it! If we go on a hike and take awesome photos using their high tech transdimensional phone camera from the future, they cant share the photos offline with any built in function that all the other phones already have and their own phone might explode before we get back to civilization! Iphone users can though. We’re all content just waiting for Apple to introduce the same functionality 5 years in the future. Nobody thinks its really magical when Apple tell us an old reintroduced technology is. Android wasnt in the running, so its nice to get an extra feature. People are just tired of the missed social cues, and lack of integration into the ecosystem now. Ironically Apple could open it up, at least to get encrypted messages, but honestly the world has evolved in such a convenient way that Apple just has to wait it out. People use Whatsapp and other stuff, and their major US market keeps gravitating to iphone.
