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.

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
