Considering the number of people that use other messaging apps these features are what people want. Apple can't just ignore that.

Why not leave these things to third party messaging apps, keyboards, and integrations? Why does it all have to be first party?

Why build a first party messaging app if most people aren't going to use it? For people who just want to send plain text messages the UI is pretty much identical. Text box, type, send.

Turn off iMessage or tell your friends. Or get over it because it's just a silly message?

Use email instead. Or turn off iMessage and just use SMS.

In that case, I think I still have an old Motorola Razr lying around in a drawer somewhere you can have...

Did you miss the part where they indicated that Messages was the most used app on iOS? Why would they abandon that experience for their customers and leave it up to a 3rd party to control?
