It's entirely a US issue. Everywhere else just uses platform agnostic apps like WhatsApp, telegram, signal, etc to get round the issue. Americans hitch their wagons to a corporate manufacturer like an identity and then moan about people who buy the other brand having different coloured text message bubbles.
Way to miss every single aspect of it
What did I miss there?
You missed that standards should extend beyond international borders and are important regardless, but especially for international interoperability reasons.
You missed that using proprietary messaging apps made by companies is the actual way to dickride corporations and that standards are literally the only way to avoid doing so.
There's more to it, but those are the main pieces.
