What could possible go wrong with letting third parties reading text messages?

There are dozens of other messaging clients on iPhones. Outside of the US, most people don’t even use iMessage. Now people are complaining that they can’t convince their friend circle to use alternate messaging apps.

This is again partially due to Google’s incompetence. They can’t even convince Android users to use their messaging apps.
