I have zero issues with running an Android, and I honestly see iPhones as being disadvantaged, personally. There's not a single thing I can't do on an Android that I could on an iPhone.

Then you have never tried to join a group chat where the other members of the group all have iPhones and use iMessage.

Then you're probably missing out on some group chats others are in.

Isn't this always the case in life? There are people having fun without you.

Yeah, but it's because I don't know them, not because I'll only use a particular chat app.

I actively avoid group chats in general, but most everyone I know uses SMS for group chats.

I can tell you right now, if they’re iphone users they probably hate it. Go on. Ask them.

No, the people I care to talk to all use Telegram, or have been willing to join my XMPP instance.
