I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason.
In my experience, when people find out my texts are green, they oftentimes would rather switch to a different platform altogether like Instagram or just not text at all.
Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?

You’re both right and wrong.
Right:
Wrong:
Prediction:
Apple will continue trying to control their own bubble to force people to purchase iPhones as long as possible. They will attempt to stall any EU regulations on standardized messaging with deceptive rebuttable that will take politicians time to realise that they hold no real weight. Eventually those arguments will be pulled apart and Apple will be forced to include a future RCS version as a supported fallback. (just like how the EU is forcing apple to allow third-party app stores, and USB-C connections)

E2E:
As far as I understand, Google wants to treat RCS similar to how it treats web:
In that case, e2e encryption is coming to RCS.
I know Samsung is also experimenting with e2e encryption too.
Other:
What other notable features (besides e2e which is discussed above) does iMessage have?
(Besides e2e,) What features to Signal and/or WhatsApp provide?
