Crazy to think people actually believe this has anything at all to do with bubble colors.
Doesn't it have to do with Apple's inability to play ball with Google and use a more universally accepted and accessible messaging protocol?
When people don't know how things work, and can only associate bubble color with bad images, video, and group messaging issues, then bubble color is meaningful.
No it's not
It has become for teens. It's like wearing the right brand. To then, if you're a green bubble, shame on you.
Of course it originates from the degraded experience, but at the moment, it all came down to the color of the bubble without taking into consideration the features/experience.
To those people it definitely is. And to Apple as well.
Counterpoint: teenagers.
