I don't actually think Apple will care enough to get rid of this. But why not simply migrate away from iMessage, FB Messenger, Whatsapp and other services already offer most of the same features. Or, hear me out. Normal texting still works. Trying to get in the cool Apple club without paying the toll seems counter productive. Anyway, I'm not trusting a startup with my communications in this situation. I have no way to know what controls you have in place.
