They have interoperability. There are 1000+ interoperable messaging platforms you can use on iOS. Problem is they're not "convenient" since SMS is the only interoperable standard that EVERY phone already has and you can't use any other messaging app with SMS fallback, which is the only feature iMessage has that the others don't.
There needs to be legislation that requires them to have unlockable bootloaders, to allow 3rd party app stores, and to be able to use other apps for SMS. And it needs to happen 10 years ago.
The fact that you need Apple's permission before you can install any software on your device, and that Apple gets 30% of EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DIME YOU SEND in literally any fucking app is appalling and embarrassing.
