I think the iMessage push is a US only thing, mainly because almost everyone uses SMS/iMessage for texting, and if you don't have an iPhone you're stuck with the standard SMS features.
In other parts of the world they use WhatsApp, Telegram, or other multi platform messaging apps, so no one really cares about iMessage.
Yeah, I’m in the US. A lot of folks I know distribute themselves over Discord, Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp, and in a few cases Viber. Most text conversations of mine are just exchanging numbers with people then immediately asking to use another service regardless of colors 😅
I could just be in a weird bubble though.
