They exempted iMessage because it's not big in Europe. If it were as big as in the US it would've fallen under the DMA.

Exactly I don't know a single person in Europe who uses or cares about iMessages. This is in the US only.

Curious, what are the most popular apps used?

In the Netherlands: whatsapp. You can't avoid whatsapp here. Telegram is used by a smaller fraction, but it got a bit of a bad rep during the pandemic due to primarily attracting anti-vax rioters.
