It would be pretty hard to argue that iMessage has a market domineering position in Europe and therefore not appropriate for the EU to regulate it.
That being said, I hope that once the other services are forced to interop apple will have no choice than to do the same.
It's probably hard to imagine in the US but people here absolutely will abandon iMessage over this. Their market position is weak enough that none of my family/friends/acquaintances who own an iPhone has even considered asking for the "default" aka WhatsApp.

Sometimes Signal or telegram but never iMessage.
