    Because that way you’re always chasing the problem instead of anticipating it. We know how Apple/iMessage behave, there is no point in waiting for them to become a problem.

      Ok, agreed with how apple act, but iMessage won’t become a problem here, because nobody uses it.

        Not sure where you are in Europe but here lots of people use iMessage. If you have an iPhone and want to text another iPhone, it’s usually iMessage.

        If they don’t have an iPhone then people fall back to WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or hell even Discord…

        Fine, but why we should always wait for something to become (evenatually) a problem ?

      Yep. They need to have broad competition rules. Not one per instance of competition issues. It’s same damn problem again and again; anticompetitive practices. Somehow the anticompetitive practices moving to the digital world means law makes can’t see them.
