Who here is saying that any company is your friend?
You’ve avoided my question. What is the business driver for Apple to do this?
Apple can do whatever it wants. Currently they want to keep a barrier between Android and Apple users as a strategy for driving iphone sales.
A reason could be just to create a better experience for its users. Currently Apple to Android messages are SMS and MMS, which are unencrypted. Apple could ensure the security of its users' messages by implementing RCS, which has E2E encryption.
