If Apple had been pressuring Google to implement the iMessage protocol

Lololol

Yes and if christians had been pressuring congregations to worship Satan that woulda been super upsetting too.

Edit: funny so many people are mad when you point out how absurd an argument is when it posits that a company might do the polar opposite of everything they stand for

They never argued that Apple would do that, it was clearly an example to display people's double standards.

Nobody said Apple would do that. I don't know where you got that from.

They said that if Apple were to use their clout to pressure others into using an Apple-controlled ecosystem, people would be angry about it.

Yet, because it's Google not Apple, people are celebrating Google's RCS as a good thing and them being the good guys.
