The fact that people care about whether their messages are blue or green is so absolutely ridiculous.
I've known people who literally refuse to message anyone who doesn't use iMessage (and by extension has an iPhone).
Every one of them turned out to be a twat in every other facet of their personality as well.
It's not blue vs green but encrypted or not.
It's definitely the blue vs green bubbles. Your average user doesn't even know iMessage is E2EE. They also don't care.
The average user knows that it they send/receive a photo or video to/from a blue bubble contact then it works perfectly; and the same interaction with a green bubble contact either fails or comes through in horrible quality
