Group chat. You can’t have a properly working group chat if there’s ~~an android~~ SMS in the mix.

This is by Apple's design choice, not because Android.

Android can send as high a quality over SMS/MMS as the network will allow. iPhone can't.

In Apple's defense, you'd still lose all the iMessage features when SMS is involved, because what else are you going to do when one participant doesn't have iMessage? You'll fallback to the lowest common mechanism.
