why is iMessage on Android such a big deal?

Being able to use rich chat features.

Like what? I know there is a difference in how group chats are handled, but thats a compatibility issue, not a rich chat feature. The only thing I can think of is Apples stupid push for more emojis and even worse Memojis. Otherwise, pics, gifs, emojis work between Apple and Android. Seems like its the green v blue and group chat edits that are the differences.

But maybe I dont know.

Being able to send videos that don't look godawful would be nice

They look just fine over RCS. Which everyone else supports and apple could even integrate support for into iMessage.

Even straight up MMS on most carriers has no limit or a generous enough one that a short clip comes through just fine.
