The ability to differentiate blue and green bubbles isn't inextricably tied to keeping iMessage closed. Apple could allow iMessage to interoperate and still only allow apple users to have blue bubbles. But they choose not to. Requiring an iPhone for a blue bubble is reasonable. Forcing everyone to use insecure chat just because one of them isn't an Apple customer isn't.
