It's actually really cherry-picked samples. All messages (blue and green) in the Messages app fade out slightly as you scroll. The author picked a blue message from the bottom of the screen and a green one from the top. If only they scrolled around a bit... they would have noticed.

Great point. I just now confirmed that as well. The bottom message is much darker than the one on top

Also the article doesn't mention that the iMessage blue also fails the same WCAG test. I just ran it myself.

As shown in the image, the blue at least passes the test for "large text"
