I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason.

In my experience, when people find out my texts are green, they oftentimes would rather switch to a different platform altogether like Instagram or just not text at all.

Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?

    Regulators don’t even necessarily come up with the standards themselves, they just need to enforce that companies need to make their services interoperable. Actually creating the standard should probably be up to a collaboration of apple, google, and other relevant parties, but regulators should just enforce that it needs to happen
