Why do people care so much about the color of their bubbles?
A friend of mine explained why it's important to his kids: they can't chat with a group of their friends.
Why? Because parents don't want to install WhatsApp or other group chats due to legitimate concerns about scammers, pedophiles, and other child predators. SMS chat fills that gap, but it breaks horribly for groups bigger than 10 people. Hence if some kid is on Android, they break their chat. Given the penetration of Apple devices, it's the kids with Android who are considered at-fault. "Just get an iPhone!"
Welcome to anticompetitive practices targeted at your children.
