Proton joins suit against Apple for predatory practices

I think the point was that if Google weren't so inept, iMessage wouldn't be such a monopoly

And you know, maybe they have a point. I especially think about Microsoft and MSN Messenger/Skype. How do you fumble away not one but two dominant messaging apps?

OP's point is about Apple intentionally fragmenting communication in social groups as an ecosystem play (trickling down to bullying starting in grade school etc) so Google's messaging marketshare would only be relevant if there was some reason to believe it would have cowed Apple into interoperating.

iMessage wouldn’t need to interoperate. Look at WhatsApp, works great on iOS and Android and dominates the market in a lot of the world.
