Maybe it’s because I’m European but I’ve never understood what iMessage even is or what it offers above either sms or WhatsApp/signal. And I’ve used an iPhone for the past 15 years.

For me, mainly: no international cost, no metered cost (other than data), no extra app like WhatsApp to install (but other party needs iOS). Edit: that said, nowadays, maybe because I'm back in the EU, I use WhatsApp way more often than iMessage.

  It is easier, however, to install WhatsApp then to switch from Android to iOS.

    Of course. iMessage is just a convenience when someone else has an iPhone.
