How else do you make them interop, other than by finding a common mapping?

Why would any company map their extended or unique elements, which they developed, to meet government regs?

They won't, they'll drop to the least effort required to get the regulators off their backs.

I have a choice. Apple users have a choice. There are plenty of other messenging systems out there.

MS Teams

Skype

Element

SimpleX

Signal

Telegram

Wire

Wiremin

Litewire

Discord

Conversations

Snikket

Briar

Zello

TwinMe

Tox

Keybase

Threema

Whatsapp

Jami

XMPP (which some listed use)

Just go to Wikipedia for a long list of different messengers and their capabilities.

Choice is nice, but my problem is the choices can't communicate with each other correctly. Thats an issue. Its an issue when our communication devices are not effective at communicating what we want to. We are already seeing the bare ass minimum right now, which is just SMS. They're doing that now, the bare minimum. If Apple was forced to fix their shitty conversion instead of it just picking the worst resolution possible, they would do it. It doesn't matter what app I use because most people in the US use iMessage, and thats where I do most of my communicating.
