Some Apple users regard this as a status symbol, some even excluding android users to avoid the green bubbles. This is probably because they perceive android as inferior since green text bubbles are associated with degraded performance largely imposed by apple when falling back to sms for interoperability (crappy pic quality, spammy notifications). Apple uses this to help keep iphone dominance (at least in the US).
