Microsoft to Acquire Activision Blizzard

I will maintain servitude to Apple for the rest of my life because of iMessage: if I leave they can subtly “break” my access to messaging with people I care about (and have done so.)

Even if you made sure to unregister your phone number and email addresses from iMessage first? You can do this while still using an iPhone to validate that it's worked before you give it up.

You are right, of course. And you can also do it afterwards if you forgot. There is no nefarious plan to void your messages when you change phone.
