Adding to this, people in the US in general treat the blue message bubbles as a status symbol.
We’re also apparently the largest userbase of iMessage, whereas the rest of the world has more sense to use third-party apps to talk to family and friends from around the world.
Ftfy.
Plus, the iMessage approach is the right answer. A single messaging app that will use a modern network-based comm channel with anyone who has the capability, with a fallback to SMS/MMS for those who don't.
Which Signal was doing until this year, unfortunately.

I switched from Textra recently to get the benefits of RCS in Google Messages. I really wish more apps would(/could?) implement it than Google's own.
