A reflection of Apple's anti-competitive practices. By disallowing iMessage on Android, Apple deliberately creates interoperability problems, notably including broken group chats when users attempt to communicate using a mixed set of operating systems.
In a 2013 internal email, Apple software chief Craig Federighi wrote: “I am concerned iMessage on Android would simply serve to remove an obstacle to iPhone families giving their kids Android phones.”

Apple's refusal to participate in an open standards process has broken many of our group chats. It's been a real green bubble struggle.

Get the GREENmug. “Green fn” refers to a nba clip of someone making a bucket and saying “green fuck nigga”. “Green” because the bar of the rim turns green on a successful bucket. “Green fn” is now synonymous with spitting smooth shit or game.

The bane of Crapple-worshipping sheep everywhere - who just love to whine about it, and selfishly expect others to waste way too much of their hard-earned money on overpriced iShit built by literal slaves in Foxconn's factories, instead of simply using a different chat app like a courteous human being - because of Crapple's abusive vendor lock-in policies, which are designed specifically to lead teenage users to bully anyone who isn't rich or gullible enough to buy a Crapple device.
Crapple Fanboi: "Ugh, I can't be friends with anyone who has an Android... otherwise I'd have to deal with the green bubble struggle..."
Sane Person: "Why not use another chat app so phone brands don't determine who your friends are?"
Crapple Fanboi: "... I don't wanna. If someone uses an Android, they're not worth being friends with."
Sane Person: "Wow. What a prick."
