I have zero interest in using any Apple service. I've never needed to, and I never will.

They can keep their imessage thing, I hadn't even heard of it until just now. I'm good.

It's incompatible with Android on purpose. They want their users shaming non apple users in to getting an iPhone.

Well it kinda works in a weird way

I saw it work in high school, but I haven't seen adults care much. As an android user, there are times I wish I had iMessage, but I've never had anyone bother me about it.

It is not just high school students that care about pureblood iMessage group chats. Also dip shit wife beaters: https://news.yahoo.com/nba-head-coach-punished-team-161451722.html
