You don't seem to have a great level of awareness of the world.
There are plenty of regulatory bodies, especially the EU, who have forced Apple to do things it doesn't want to.
They are making noise about interoperability of communications and rather than have the US (we don't have RCS over here, so it's meaningless for us) make rules that forces their hand in a manner that may not be how Apple want to do things, they get out ahead to reduce the power of the argument.
The fact that it's a shitty implementation is the feature.
