Nah, why? Apple has delivered a lot of innovative features through iMessage. SMS texting used to be trash, until Apple iMessage forced them to improve the underlying protocol. It's STILL not as good as iMessage (memojis, extensions and games like Giphy, voice messages, etc)
Paying for SMS messages, when it costs phone companies literally nothing, is what should be illegal.
SMS is still trash compared to WhatsApp or half a dozen other platforms. But SMS is also the only standard we have and, as a standard, usage should be standardized across devices. Apple's manipulation of the standard turns it into proprietary gatekeeping. Why in the world should I know or care if a text I am receiving is coming from an Apple device or an Android device? That's not part of the standard, that's Apple naked attempt to coopt the standard.
