Exactly.

If you want to be mad about Apple not opening iMessage up, be mad that they don’t have an SDK, API, etc for non-Apple developers.

Don’t be mad that they’re plugging exploits that people decided to turn into a product.

There might have been anger in the beginning but after 10+ years it's just kinda disappointment.

The only reason anybody is trying to make it a product is because there is demand and they think people will pay if they can deliver.
