TL;DR: Apple dominates the US smartphone market, but EU regulations may offer Android a chance for resurgence by enforcing messaging interoperability and standardizing hardware features.

I mean, maybe google should stop shooting themselves in the foot when it comes to messaging. See: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/08/a-decade-and-a-half-of-instability-the-history-of-google-messaging-apps/

I don't think it's that important who makes the messenger. Most people outside the US use messengers like WhatsApp anyway.

It's more about rcs compatibility, which to be fair google was really late to the party bringing it around.
