> They're spending effort fixing a security hole in an internal protocol.
Then they're spending effort regardless, and your argument was that they shouldn't spend effort at all. If that is the case then it would be better spent opening the protocol in the first place.
> That's like saying Toyota doesn't offer "driving a Ford" as a feature.
Fun hyperbole, but no, there's an obvious difference and this is a reach.
> I don't give a shit? Sending an SMS to Android users is fine.
Good for you, but it's obvious that a lot of people do care. Look around in this very thread, even. Apple users complain that things like group chats and read receipts don't work with Android users. The whole fickle green bubble thing originates from this. Plenty of people do care about this functionality and are happy that this exists, iPhone users included. And if you don't care, then why would you be so insistent about not wanting it added?
