Speaking as a life-long Apple user who mostly thinks the rampant attacks on Apple are basically the same as the ones people have been throwing for 30+ years, just with "Apple is dying, no one should use their stuff" replaced with "Apple is too big/tyrannical, no one should use their stuff"...

I agree.

But.

The solution to that is to get antitrust regulators to step in and use the force of the law to change things.

Not to cheer on a third party using security vulnerabilities to piggyback onto Apple's service and charge a subscription for it.

There is no security vulnerability, that is FUD. They're charging a subscription to fix Apple's bugs that intentionally cripple communication communication with Android phones for Apple's own benefit and nobody else's.
