Apple created a private communication system, and runs its own infrastructure for it. A 3rd-party app reverse-engineered the system and injected itself in while letting Apple carry the server burden. Oh, and attempted to charge $ for it. How is Apple in the wrong here, exactly?

Green bubble texts are less secure. So why would Apple block a new app allowing Android users to chat with iPhone users on iMessage? Big Tech executives are protecting profits by squashing competitors. Chatting between different platforms should be easy and secure.
