They can't block it, as it's using the standard imessage way. They could change the way iMessage works, but that would break iMessage support on older iOS devices that no longer are supported.

Yes, that's what "no longer supported" means.
In this context “no longer supported” just means “no longer receiving active development support”. Not “doesn’t work with the service”.
So actually no, that’s not what “no longer supported” means here, at all.
