Yeah.

Because Apple has a proprietary messaging format. They won't adopt the standard the rest of the world uses or open theirs up for others to use.

By choice or by force?

Hard to say. I think some eu stuff might have pressured a bit

Doesn't change that it's shitty now and has been for years.

They don't get credit for the EU pressuring them to be less shitty.

Yeah, I get that I wish they had done rcs earlier or whatever. Like I get not opening iMessage up, but at least support the best standard out there would be nice. MMS and sms are garbo
