So now it’s anticompetitive any time that a vendor doesn’t support all platforms?

There are other issues, like that they don't allow you to install apps outside their Appstore and they require developers pay $99 a year to publish an app. Android allows you to install apps outside of the Google Play Store.

What does that have to do with iMessage?

Because iMessage is an Apple-only product.

What does iMessage being an Apple only product have to do with not allowing third party stores on iOS? How does that help getting iMessage on Android? Are you suggesting that Apple should be forced to port iMessage to Android devices?
