Because receiving pictures/videos(or sending) from iPhones sucks and it's basically impossible to explain that it's a problem on their end.

I thought the point of Android was that we don’t like to conform to the walled garden. Why is there such an obsession with jumping Apple’s fence? Might as well get an iPhone then

Yeah, that’s Apple’s fault. It’s not Android’s fault that Apple has cultivated brain dead tech illiterate consumers for decades.

I agree, but Apple built this tech for their users, and for whatever reason people choose to use it.
Some people choose not to use it. So why expect Apple to open their walled garden? If all your friends are inside and they love the flowers, maybe the answer isn’t to ask for free flowers from inside, but either go in yourself or choose to stay outside without the flowers?
Isn’t this like going to someone’s house and not liking their cooking, and then demanding they order pizza for you to accommodate what you want?
