so you just defend everything apple does but you agree it's dirty bullshit.

This is truly a dizzying exchange. What I said was three things. The bubbles are designed to, at least in part, distinguish message protocol, the zealous conspicuous consumers are responsible for making it a status symbol, and not porting the system to android for vendor lock-in is a scummy process. I am really struggling to see me defend Apple in this case.

the zealous conspicuous consumers are responsible

They are, and Apple consistently does things the way to let that work.
