I loathe being forced to use Apple products because there are so many of these simple missing features.
I’m not sure how you are in any way forced to use Apple products
In America iMessage has extremely strong network effects. I read about an Android user who carried around an iPhone specifically to avoid having a green bubble with dating prospects.
My family and friends primarily use iMessage group threads as social media. There's also a lot of location sharing via Apple.
It's difficult to get most people to switch to something else and impossible to get old people to do it.
