The people complaining about green bubbles would like to have a word with you. They like the features. They don't specifically care about the features. It's what everyone else they want to talk to uses. Lots of other apps have similar features. So features isn't the reason people choose iMessage.

Did you read part two? The features are part of it (group chat functionality, media quality, etc) along with the seamlessness of it all. These users don’t want to download a separate app. They just want to text with the added features.

So users don't care about exclusivity, they only care about features like less compressed video and renaming text groups which are exclusively available within an iPhone-exclusive app, exclusively when messaging other iPhones. Got it.
