There's four groups of people here:
- "Apple's target demographic". People like my parents, who just know "Open Messages to text people" and don't understand that Apple basically slid themselves in between every iPhone-to-iPhone text conversation
- "BMW drivers". Extremely vain people looking for ways to not talk to the poors, who are angry that any sort of fix to this problem would decrease their ability to be classist assholes. Classholes.
- "Android users stuck in iPhone families". People angry that their iPhone using friends keep texting them "Liked an image" and then asking why the images they texted them look like ass. Me.
- "Whatsapp's data suppository". Western Europeans who would much rather the Americans just shut up and go away[0]. Green bubbles cost them so much money (because European carriers are horrible scum of the earth) that they all migrated to Whatsapp way before iMessage got any traction in Europe.
Of course they're all going to have different opinions. We will not 'make up our mind' and it is downright insulting that you demand we make up one opinion with four minds.
[0] Which seems to be the argument for a lot of other things America likes, like human rights, immigration, freedom of speech, and more generally, liberal democracy.
