Apple is the problem and they are intentionally blocking this compatibility to keep you in their walled garden ecosystem.
One of many great reasons I avoid the company, I’m no fan of Google but I’m even less enthusiastic about being manipulatied by unnecessary restrictions.
Some months ago, in email transcripts between Apple employees from years ago, they were discussing about the possibility of bringing iMessage to Android but ultimately decided against it because it was the product that kept users locked in to their iPhones. It isn’t a technological problem to bring iMessage but a corporation-al one.
