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.

To those people it definitely is. And to Apple as well.

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.
