it's not hard to set up a proxy and just sniff the traffic to reconstruct the protocol

It's obfuscated and very complicated.

It must be kind of hard, because nobody has reverse engineered it enough to build a reimplementation of the client.

Really? Do you know what you linked to?

Have you actually gotten an APK from that site?

It looks like a 100% fake site that takes you through never ending scam surveys and sign ups.

That one could be wrong, I don't have an Android phone anymore, and stopped following pretty much all things Android. However I've personally used an iMessage app on Android a few years back. They definitely exist.
