How is being able to send iMessages to your Android-user friends from your iPhone not to your advantage as an Apple customer?

It's not to Apple's advantage, though.

You’d be surprised how many people in the US have purely iPhone social circles. They won’t care.

You're still advantaged should you ever make friends with an Android user in the future, or at the very least you're not disadvantaged since you would not have had any difference made to you.
