Imessage is a platform also owned by big tech, and the primary motivation and goal of Apple is to keep users locked in to their own ecosystem.
As a a result, imessage doesnt support any other mobile platforms properly, and even discriminates against users that dont have an iphone.
The world outside of the US doesnt have 80% iphone penetration.
How you can say that imessage is any “better” is a complete mystery to me.
Both apps (whatsapp and imessage) are just here to serve their big tech overlords in their own bigger picture.
