I don't think it's the same. Joining the iMessage network requires purchasing an Apple phone, which is a barrier that may be insurmountable to teens that aren't making their own purchasing decisions, regardless of how badly they want to join.
Joining any of those other networks just requires installing a free app.

The choice of messaging platform is due to networking effects regardless of platform, and their smugness is unwarranted
