Honestly? Because it’s Apple’s service to do with what they wish. I don’t view iMessage to be enough of a public good that Apple should be forced to make it public. There’s a lot of other apps like WhatsApp that provide open messaging and so the space is competitive enough. I would argue that it would be more important for Facebook to open up its social network or Google to open up its ads than for Apple to open up its messaging platform.
