I'd assume some people use it when it's available and just use regular texts or something like Signal for non apple contacts.

I'd be really surprised if anyone only uses it and just never talks to anyone with an android...

you can sms android users from the Messages app. if it’s to another iphone the messages are blue, android and they are green.

Like RCS, iMessage falls back to SMS / MMS (aka “green bubbles”) if iMessage isn’t available.

People still talk cross-platform, but people dislike the drop in media quality / functionality when they get kicked to the old protocol.
