I really think it wouldn't be that hard to make a law that messengers have to respect some minimal protocol for interoperability, like RCS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Communication_Services

If EU can force phone makers to have USB ports, it can make messangers respect RCS.

I'm not sure RCS is yet complete enough. It was really designed with replacement of SMS in mind. It also needs to work independently of any phone number and ensure full E2EE.
