Not what I asked. Let's take as a given that they are allowed to keep it exclusive. The question is why should them?
I am also not interested in "it makes sense for their business". Unless you are an Apple employee or a significant stockholder, why would anyone prefer iMessage to be exclusive?
- willseth 3y agoYou're asking specifically why would any particular iPhone user want iMessage to be exclusive? It's not that they actually affirmatively want it to be exclusive, it's that they simply don't care. They either only communicate with other iPhone users, or a few green bubbles don't bother them. Most of the advocates for iMessage on Android are Android users. It's not complicated. Why would Apple put in the effort to open up iMessage when their customers don't care about it and only their competitor's customers do?
