It isn't about opening up iMessage. The article is about using RCS instead of SMS/MMS as the fallback. It's a pretty reasonable ask that will raise the quality of service when texting with the majority of the market. They can continue to lock down iMessage however they want.

It's not a "reasonable" ask if you're Apple, selfish, and therefore want iMessage to remain superior to SMS at all costs, because it's part of your luxury appeal.

It also not reasonable because a lot of countries, also in europe, do not have RCS support on their networks.
Or the right version of RCS.

Most people in Europe don't use iMessage though.
