This is interesting. I had a dive into all this since I initially posted, and it seems this iMessage phenomena is a U.S.A. thing. iMessage is mostly unused in Europe, iPhone or not. I don't care much for Whatsapp myself and prefer Signal, but I eventually gave up because life's too short for crusades. Reading up on the iMessage adoption in the U.S.A. is like reading alternative-history fiction in Europe :P
